THE PROJECT

This Project gives you the opportunity to work with the Township Children whilst teaching them Soccer daily from 2pm-5pm. The school we teach at is based on the Southern Peninsula of Cape town.  The children come from less privileged back grounds, and they need one on one attention.  You can also assist at the school in the mornings helping the teachers around the school too if you would like too.  The greatest need at the school is to help the teach the children Netball, basketball and soccer.   Sharing in the Children’s joy and enthusiasm is most rewarding and your helping hands will be greatly appreciated.  The Sports Project is aimed at building team work amongst the Children, and to equip them with another life skills.  Few of them have had the opportunity of playing sport, so it is an exciting new challenge for them. We also welcome you to open in Pray with the children before the sports and close in pray after the sports.  You are also most welcome to prepare a short bible study to share with the children.  Spiritual food is essential to helping the children in growing in their faith.  Any old clothes, shoes and blankets are a welcome donation to the community. In the mornings you can explore the area or visit the child care/ orphan care centre and help out there.
