A LOOK BACK AT HARRY'S LIFE-CHANGING WORK WITH SENTEBALE OVER THE YEARS

'It was clear that the children needed care, attention and above all love' Prince Harry

- THOMAS WHITAKER

Flying halfway around the world to support Sentebale by playing in a fundraising polo match in Singapore shows how important it remains to the Duke of Sussex.

Since co-founding the charity with Prince Seeiso of Lesotho in 2006, in memory of both their mothers, to help vulnerable children in Lesotho and Botswana, Prince Harry has continued to put his heart and soul into supporting children in some of the world's poorest countries.

During his numerous visits to Lesotho, he has continually proven that he's not afraid to muck in. On one notable trip in 2008, he was joined by army colleagues from the Blues and Royals in lugging wheelbarrows of wet cement over the rocky ground.

MAKING A DIFFERENCE

Harry also helped demolish an old ceiling so the team could install insulation to protect against bitterly cold winter temperatures when building a new counselling centre for traumatised children.

"I love physical labour; it's what I do best," he said, before showing his winning way with youngsters. As he pushed four-year-old Mojabeng around on a tricycle, she laughed with delight. The little girl had been abandoned and lived rough on the streets for three months until police took her to Sentebale's safe house.

Later, Harry played with a boy called Molise, also four, whose alcohol- and drug-addicted parents had abused him.

Over the years, he has returned to the country many times, but it was in 2015, when he opened a new £2m centre for vulnerable children, that Harry gave the best explanation of why the charity means so much to him.
