At just 8 years old, an young Harry Kane was ๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐ by Arsenal after being labelled โa bit chubbyโ and โnot very athletic.โ ๐
They didn't believe he had what it took.
Before becoming a superstar at Tottenham, he was sent out on ๐๐ข๐จ๐ฅ loan spells:
๐ฌ๐ง Leyton Orient โ League One
๐ฌ๐ง Millwall โ Championship
๐ฌ๐ง Norwich City โ Premier League
๐ฌ๐ง Leicester City โ Championship
Four loan spells. Countless setbacks. Years of being doubted.
He went on to become Tottenham's ๐๐๐-๐ง๐๐ ๐ leading goalscorer, England's ๐๐๐-๐ง๐๐ ๐ leading goalscorer and one of the deadliest strikers in world football. โฝ
But despite all those goals, records and individual awards, one thing kept eluding him...
๐ ๐ง๐ฅ๐ข๐ฃ๐๐ฌ. ๐
He had to wait until he was ๐ฏ๐ญ ๐ฌ๐๐๐ฅ๐ฆ ๐ข๐๐ to finally lift the first major trophy of his career.
From being rejected as an 8-year-old to becoming a champion at 31.
๐ฎ๐ฏ ๐๐๐ผ๐๐ ๐ฝ๐๐๐๐๐๐ ๐๐๐
๐๐พ๐๐๐๐ ๐ผ๐๐ฟ ๐๐๐ฟ๐๐๐๐๐๐๐.
He never stopped working.
He never stopped believing.
He ๐ก๐๐ฉ๐๐ฅ gave up.

Norwegian Church Aid Advances Interfaith Climate Advocacy Ahead of COP31
The Norwegian Church Aid Advocacy Programme Africa participated in the #AfricaCantWait Pre-COP31 Multi-Faith Convening, bringing together faith leaders, interfaith actors and technical experts to strengthen collective advocacy for climate justice ahead of COP31 in Antalya, Tรผrkiye.
The convening provided an important platform for connecting faith perspectives, community experiences and technical expertise to concrete climate policy demands, with a focus on ensuring that global climate commitments translate into meaningful action for vulnerable and frontline communities.
Through the participation of Vincent Ondieki, Regional Climate Justice Coordinator at Norwegian Church Aid, NCA contributed to discussions on the Adaptation and Resilience track, supporting efforts to develop clear advocacy messages that reflect community realities and strengthen calls for locally led, inclusive and adequately financed climate adaptation.
As Africa continues to experience the growing impacts of climate change, adaptation must move beyond commitments and plans to effective implementation. This requires accessible and predictable climate finance, stronger support for National Adaptation Plans, meaningful community participation and accountability for results.
As we approach #COP31 and look towards #COP32 in Ethiopia, the priority remains clear: bridge the gap between global climate commitments and locally led action that builds resilience, protects livelihoods and leaves no one behind.
Through the Africa Canโt Wait campaign, NCA reaffirms the importance of collective interfaith advocacy in advancing a just and inclusive climate response for Africa.

Religious communities are development partners, not opponents of it. Governments and faith institutions must work together, combining public resources and technical expertise with local trust to protect people most at risk from climate-related disasters.

Does the Portuguese FA know without Ronaldo their team becomes like Croatia or Georgia. Nobody will watch them.
We mourn chairman and his passion for mentoring young people in these spaces. ๐
