CHELSEA MAGAZINE: HELPING HAITI
Posted on: Tue 16 Mar 2010
April's edition of Chelsea magazine sees cover star Florent Malouda in
charitable mood as he discusses the link between the problems in Haiti,
and his homeland French Guiana, a little known corner of France eager to
show the world what it has to offer.
'A lot of people don't know where French Guiana is and we have this great,
mixed culture - that's our strength as a country,' explains Malouda. 'For
us, it's a real controversy because we're launching satellites and yet,
sometimes, we feel a little bit isolated.
'So I'm trying to develop and show the other attractive things about
French Guiana, where the culture is a mix of French, South American and
Caribbean influences, as well as other European cultures.'
It is not just on the pitch that Malouda likes to show his versatility,
having played at left-back and in central-midfield this season, as off it
he has helped launch the One Love Festival in his native land, bringing
some of the top names in Caribbean music to French Guiana - including one
Wyclef Jean.
'We organised an event in French Guiana when I launched my foundation in
June 2009. For the first event we had international music stars like
Wyclef Jean. The aim of that event was to bring up the Guianese culture
and mix it with some international artists and give them some exposure.
'The prices were very low, which meant it was a popular event and the main
objective was to bring some media to Guiana and attract people to the
country. We wanted to help develop my home country by showing everyone the
music and the culture.'
Wyclef has certainly been an inspiration to the Chelsea man, and you may
have noticed Flo's goal celebration in recent months - a nod to the former
Fugee's Yele' Haiti charity, which has been trying to draw attention to
the plight of the Haitian people affected by January's devastating
earthquake. Malouda is hoping to visit the region over the to show how
football can help in times of hardship.
'Me going to Haiti to help was a project we were thinking about before the
earthquake. Of course, things have changed because of that, but I would
say it's still possible for the Haitian people to think about a positive
thing like playing football,' he tells Chelsea.
'Even if they have suffered a lot of things, they are still positive. They
are singing in the street, trying to carry on their lives, and if we can
bring something to help the Haitian Federation to rebuild some structure
or anything like that, it will be good. I think, by going out to help
train football, you can help people to think about something else than
surviving.
'If everybody uses their own talents they can directly help in these
situations and I'm a footballer so I will try to help in that way. If I
can help Haiti through football, or helping to rebuild their football
structure, that's what I'll try to do.'
The former Lyon winger wants people to remember that although the disaster
is no longer making headlines, the fight has only just begun.
'Part of our aim is to remind people it's not finished, it will take years.
When there are all these pictures of the suffering, sometimes people can
become fed up with all of it and feel that they've done their part by
giving something and then it's finished,' he says.
'But Haitian people are not just waiting to receive money from the
international community, they are also trying to help themselves.
'This is a humanitarian disaster - there is a difference between helping
to rebuild a country and helping people to survive and, right now, they
are just trying to survive.'

Elsewhere it is another flexible player speaking to the official club
magazine, and what an impact Branislav Ivanovic has made this season, is
he a cult hero in the making?
'We have the best players in the world here and a hero is someone who is
here for a long, long time. So I don't think so.' That's the verdict of
the man himself as he pops up to discuss what it's been like staking a
claim for his own spot in the side this campaign.
'I just started to play regularly and I try to do my best. Of course, I'm
happy about this if it's true and some fans feel that way, it's good
motivation for the future to do my best. But in the moment, I don't think
so! I don't think about these things and I just want to keep improving.'
The Serb defender has certainly caught the attention, and his meeting with
Chelsea also features commendation for the 26-year-old from two Chelsea
wing legends - none other than Pat Nevin and Joe Cole, who couldn't
believe his eyes when he saw 'Iva' in training recently.
Elsewhere in this month's magazine is a head-to-head with former England
batsman Graham Thorpe, himself a lifelong Blues fan, who ponders what life
might have been like had he pursued the beautiful game rather than the one
in which he played 100 Tests for England.

this month's Chelsea magazine, still priced at a tremendous ￡3.25 and
available now in the Chelsea Megastore and all good newsagents.
