Actress Charlize Theron is giving back to her homeland by donating soccer fields to Africa in honor of the 2010 World Cup.
Says the Daily Star, 34-year-old Theron has revealed that her Africa Outreach charity is currently raising funds to build the fields and she is "excited" about bringing the opportunity of soccer to the rural kids in the country.
"I love soccer and it’s great for Africa that we’re finally hosting it [World Cup]. We’re so proud,” the Daily Star quoted the actress as saying.
Adding, "I started a program about two years ago that’s become very integrated and, in honor of the World Cup, we’re building soccer fields in very rural communities, where African children have no access to play this sport."
