One major aspect of our camps is the sports program that focuses on a variety of activities like soccer, wiffleball, dodgeball, t-ball, kickball, and even American football. Both the boys and the girls participate, and everyone has a great time while we reinforce the value of the body and physical health. The kids love learning new games, but soccer is a major favorite in the camps and around Rwanda. Sometimes, we invite special guests to join us—last year we were thrilled to surprise the boys and girls with an afternoon of soccer with a Rwandan soccer star from one of the local teams. This not only helps develop skills on the field, but such close contact with local success-stories encourages kids to work hard for their goals.
