American football player, David Clowney has been all over the map this summer, working with charities from New Jersey to Haiti and his next stop is Ghana.  He will be in Ghana this week with his new teammate and longtime friend Santonio Holmes as part of a small group that will visit children’s hospital, schools and orphanages during the weeklong trip. They’ll also set up a game in Accra to teach children about American football.

“We’ve got so many things that we’re going to do while we’re out there,” Clowney told The Associated Press on Saturday. “It’s going to be ridiculous. We’ll do some sightseeing, too, and checking out the area itself, but for the most part it will be about the kids. We’re just going to try to help however we can.”

Through donations to his David Clowney Foundation, the receiver is bringing about 250 pounds of children’s clothing with him. He’ll also be donating $1,000 to each hospital the group visits. The group will arrive in Ghana on Tuesday and will return the following Monday.

Clowney, who had 14 catches and a touchdown last season, spent three days in Haiti in March as part of a missionary group that included teammates James Ihedigbo and Vernon Gholston and former cornerback Ahmad Carroll. They worked with members of Yele Haiti, musician Wyclef Jean’s charity, to help with the relief and recovery efforts following the earthquake in January. Inspired by that trip, Clowney planned a visit to Ghana to help children there.

“I’m super excited about it,” he said. “Just thinking about all the work we got done in Haiti in just those three days, I think we’re going to get an extreme amount of work done while trying to help the kids and families of Ghana.”
