2018 Uganda CUFC Transit 2
We are looking for students who are in 7th grade (during the 2017-2018 school year), who are actively involved in Transit and their fathers. Father/student pairs will spend a week in the Ugandan village of Kavule, serving Champions United FC. Champions United is building the next generation of Ugandan leaders by leveraging sports as a tool to connect capable mentors with children. Champions United greatest impact occurs as a coach and player build a long term, mentoring relationship.
You have the opportunity to help our coaches by joining forces and investing in our children. Over the course of the week, you will facilitate a high-energy, 2-day UpStreet-style camp for kids, utilize a fun and interactive hygiene curriculum in local schools, and engage with local families as you visit them in their huts and homes. On this highly relational trip, you will be inspired by a team of coaches that mentor children by investing their lives, and you'll have a blast with some of the greatest people you'll ever meet.
We need a team of 24 people comprised of a fathers with their students to serve our partner. This is not an athletic sports camp, thus sport skills are not required. Having fun is!
