Black stars defender John Paintsil has set up a foundation geared towards promoting the interest of children.
Dubbed the “Paintsil Peace Kids Project” (PPKP) the foundation is to inculcate the values of respect and guide young children towards the path of success.
The Fulham defender revealed this in an interview with Joy FM’s Super Morning Show host Kojo Oppong Nkrumah on Thursday.
The foundation is opened to children across the country and will hold football clinics to impart these values in the children.
The defender still bares a grudge against Uruguay striker Luis Suarez whose “hand of evil” denied the Black Stars a historic semi-final place in the World Cup.
He also has a bone to pick with the referee for not accepting the foul as a goal.
