And there were two!

We have our second school signed on to be a partner. Ukhanyo Primary School in Masiphumalele is our 2nd partner. This school is full of boys that LOVE soccer so we should have quite the squad there. I've been meeting with young men from a church in the area, Maranatha Family Church, to recruit our coaches. I've met with 2 really great guys and I'm hoping that God will lead them to us!

Be praying for our remaining schools and coaches!

We have one!!

We have our first official host school! Marine Primary School in Ocean View has signed on as our first official host school that will receive the assistance of soccer coaches trained by Ubuntu Sports Outreach. We're very excited to have our first and hope the flood will come of more schools and then the corresponding churches and coaches!

February Update

Things have really been cranking up for Ubuntu Sports Outreach. After our series of successful clinics at the beginning of the school year momentum is building. We have been busy seeking firm, long-term commitments from the schools we have been working in. We want them to commit to our program of providing them well-trained coaching mentors. We are also spending much of our time connecting with the local churches that will provide our coaches. We’ve had great meetings with pastors and people are very excited. Now the challenge is finding the right men from within those churches. I have had the opportunity to speak at a few churches to share the excitement. These pastors lead churches that are passionate about reaching the kids in their community, which is exactly what we want to see.

We are also excited to see some opportunities opening up to expand into other areas. The Muizenberg area, also a Living Hope area, has 4 schools that we are meeting with. They seem keen to partner with us, too, which means more churches to find! So, pray that God would be raising up the right churches and the men to coach.
