Welcome!
I would like to first thank everyone for visiting my blog about my study abroad in Uganda!
Why Uganda?
Uganda has been called the “Pearl of Africa” however is missing one of the most important things in a child’s life; sports playing fields. Most of the new schools in Kampala, the capital of Uganda, were built without them because the city was trying to focus on academics.
The Kampala Kids League (KKL) was established to help boys and girls (ages 4-14), in Kampala, Uganda to improve their lives through sport. It was founded in 1998 and has since created 840 various teams giving almost 16,000 children the ability to participate in sport. The success of the KKL led to the development of a country wide program called The Kids League Uganda (TKL), founded in 2003. The TKL has an expanded concentration in keeping kids in school in addition to emphasizing the importance of exercise and health in one’s daily life.
Kennesaw State University has created a study abroad program specifically focused to assist the KKL. They have generated a strong relationship with the organization. This gives the participating students the unique opportunity to learn as well as understand the issues and challenges of delivering youth sport services in a developing country.
What will I be doing?
One of the many objectives of the trip is to help the children of Kampala, and surrounding villages, prepare for a great opportunity which they have been granted; attending the 2010 World Cup in South Africa. We will help them shop for clothes, teach them about city life to better their adaptation, and even help them polish up their soccer (or as they call it, football) skills. Along with this, we will also be working with faculty members of the TKL learning how to organize and plan related recreational cities in our own cities.
Why do I want to be a part of this?
When I first heard about this program when I was immediately intrigued. It would give me a chance learn about various branches of my major as well as allowing me to explore a part of the world where I could have only dreamed of visiting. I found it, and still find it, an amazing opportunity to make a significant impact; not only in a developing country but to the lives of children. Growing up, I was very involved in a variety of sports, mainly soccer, and still fondly remember the individuals who were a part of it. This is a chance for me now, to be one of those people.
How can you get involved?
With hope and the assistance of my friends, family, and other potential supporters they may know, I will be in Kampala, Uganda for three weeks in the summer of 2010, just before my last semester at Kennesaw State University. I am trying to raise $4,000 for this undertaking. In advance, I would like to thank everyone for their help to get me there through their thoughts, prayers, financial, and any other support that can be given.
