Winter 2017 - Tournament for Girls & Building a House in a Drought

December 2016 Tournament for Girls

The December Tournament for Girls was everything we hoped it could be. Girls from all around the Ntahangwa community came together to play for the promotion of peace, reconciliation and cohesion.  8 teams consisting of a total of 144 girls and over 5000 total attendees enjoyed the 2 week tournament.

Building a House for Orphans During a Drought

As we started to plan for our Spring 2017 tournament we learned just how bad the drought and famine is in East Africa.  Simply put, kids cannot play soccer if they are starving.  However, we still want to engage with them and provide for their needs.  As such we have decided to postpone any future tournaments for now and focus on more basic needs.  Instead of a tournament, we hope to provide a shorter, smaller version of the community camp.  Participants will finish the orphan house (three childern (8, 12 & 13) who lost their parents a week before the camp due to HIV/AIDS) started in during the August Community Camp.  Every participant will receive meals throughout the day and also 2 lbs of beans and rice to help feed their families. Your tax-deductible donation of $25 makes this possible.
