Afridi, while highlighting the various work done by his foundations, announced that Peshawar Zalmi Foundation will provide all the required cricket equipment to Darren Sammy Foundation in the city of St Lucia.
He said that Pakistan had been worst affected by terrorism and especially KP province has seen terrible times.
“I have always condemned terrorism and want to work for the well-being of people affected by it. That’s why we at Peshawar Zalmi started the Peshawar Zalmi Foundation which is not only about cricket but also there to help and support people in need across the Globe.
The suffering, pain and lack of basic necessities for a common person is what motivated us to start this initiative. Today, we are working in more than 33 countries under the banner of Global Zalmi, and these 33 clubs are not just playing cricket but helping us in spreading smile in most parts of the world.”

“I admire Javed Afridi for his massive cricketing sense and passion for the game, his idea for spreading smile among the needy is really amazing. I felt great pride when I met students of Army public school in Dubai last year and this hugely motivated me to do something similar back home in St. Lucia as my country faces the similar situation”.
Darren Sammy further said that he has found immense love in Pakistan, especially in Peshawar where people lovely call him Sammy Khan. He also feels very proud that he has played his little part in returning cricket to Pakistan.
Afridi announced a donation worth $ 10,000 for Daren Sammy Foundation and promised to supply all cricket gear needed by the foundation in promoting cricket in St. Lucia.
