    Darboe becomes latest 'A Scuola di Tifo' host


    Ebrima Darboe spoke to schoolchildren on Tuesday afternoon to discuss the importance of key elements such as respect, fair play and equality for all.

    On Tuesday midfielder Ebrima Darboe became the latest player to speak to schoolchildren as part of the club's 'A Scuola di Tifo' initiative.

    The initiative sees members of the AS Roma first teams visit children from around the Italian capital to pass on important life lessons.

    On Tuesday afternoon Darboe joined 47 students from the Leonardo da Vinci Comprehensive School, where he discussed topics ranging from respect and bullying to fair play and the importance of healthy eating.

    The Gambia international also talked about the importance of sustainability and the need for the next generation to familiarise themselves with the issue.

    "Our club is showing that it is increasingly focused on the environment and the importance of sustainability," Darboe said.

    "You can even see that from the work being done at the training centre at Trigoria."

    He added: "Discussing topics like these within schools and with schoolchildren is so important, because it is important that even younger people learn more about issues that are becoming increasingly important.

    "Every single action can make a major difference."
