To save Africa you need a lot more than a ball and XI vs XI (IMG:

It's a project called 'Goal4Africa' ...
This is Seedorf's comments from Melia hotel in Milano, where he held a press conference about this summit.
"With goal4africa, we want to be a hand in education and progress in Africa. The first big occasion for goal4africa will give us the first chance to set our goals in place, it will be on the 12th of July in the Allienz Arena in Munich Germany. It will be a fund raiser friendly of which 40 of the greatest players in the world will take part in. Goal4africa will focus on collecting money from each goal scored all over the world, with a little donation. There will also be a number that the fans in the stadium could send an sms to, if they were interested. It is a big match, with a goal even bigger than anything I have played for, and that is promoting the progress of Africa."
Seedorf continued: "Nelson Mandela is a figure, he represents the cause to me personally. He has always been pushing for the progress of his country and continent. Goal4africa is a means to get the message across and I am certain he will be there. More so, I am certain he will give his donation as soon as he steps into the stadium. I am happy to be ambassador to this project. When they first explained this project to me, I felt that it would have a major impact from a humanitarian point of view to help develop and progress Africa. Also to help develop other projects, from this stepping stone. Another match for Africa, everyone is equal and everyone plays sport from a general perspective. The project as a whole is going according to plan, and our philosophy is to educate the kids through football in general, but not only that."
Seedorf concluded: "I have also spoken to other partners who have embraced the project from the first proposal. And the goal is to help the project run into the foreseeable future as a primary objective. There are players from Bayern and Chelsea, also Fabio Cannavaro and Gigi Buffon have embraced the project as well."
