Dates

29 June - 18 July

Finally got dates organised for the programme. Will have three one week long camps with approximately 25-30 kids at each week. So hopefully myslef and Paddy can reach out to almost 100 kids in Mwanga through the programme!! Ben Mongi the coordinator with Uvikuta, Tazania has mentioned the great response coming from the community of Mwanga. Hopefully this project will be a great success. Maybe something annual that can make a developing difference to a local community through sports!!!

Funding has been Approved

Got the great news yesterday (3/4/08) that the funding for the Sports Camp has been approved by Irish Aid. This means that I will not have to worry about paying the flights and looking after myself when on the programme for the three weeks. The other projects that received funding are Development Perspectives Tanzania and Development Perspectives Uganda. We are still waiting on dates of the project but we should know more by the end of the week. This funding is great news for the programme as it is the first time it is to be run and who knows it could be an annual thing that could build to become something brilliant!!
