They were involved in environmental activities, including cleaning and gardening, before having photoshoot sessions with the children at the centre.
As seen in a video uploaded by Bayer 04 Leverkusen on X, Nigerian striker Boniface was pushing a wheelbarrow filled with wood shavings and was telling a staff member the name it is called in Nigeria.
Poun poun, as it is known, is a name coined from the metallic quality of the machine and the sound it makes when dropped. It is mostly used by building contractors.
The striker is not the only Nigerian in the team; Nathan Tella, though he represents the African country, was born in England and is not exactly versed in the language.
Boniface's exploits last season made him the subject of transfer speculations, but according to Soccernet, he has confirmed he will continue at the Bay Arena next season.
