This trip is primarily geared for high school students and faculty members during spring break, although anyone is welcome to come. We will be traveling to the capital city of Belmopan, to work in partnership with a Belize Rotary Club and the local government, to renovate a park to provide a volleyball court, soccer goals, playground equipment, and rebuild the seating for their existing basketball court. If we recruit enough participants and funds, we will also be able to provide a basketball court for another of the city's parks. To download a packet, click here.
Postponed until next year...
This trip is done in partnership with the Southern Oregon Fellowship of Christian Athletes, although anyone is welcome to come. The group will be headed to Lippo Karawaci, Indonesia, just outside of the capital city of Jakarta. While there, the team will build a multi-purpose sports court for a very disadvantaged school in Binong. The trip is also part of a continued effort to use sports to bring together Chinese-Indonesian, Christian youth with Ethnic-Indonesian, Muslim youth as the court is being completed in partnership with the Karawaci Youth Sports Leagues.
March 8-15
This trip is for a sorority group from The College of William and Mary in Williamsburg, Virginia. The group will be traveling five hours south of San Jose to Buenos Aires, where they will build a soccer/basketball court in a marginalized community called Santa Cruz, working in partnership with a Peace Corps Volunteer as well as community leaders. This project is not open to everyone, but if you are a young woman from William and Mary, download this packet to find out more.
Costa Rica 2009- Part 2
Dates TBD
Two years ago, while in Tierra Prometida, Costa Rica, we visited a community called Cocori, which was adjacent to a garbage dump. Some live in the actual dump, but many others, especially young kids, rummage through the garbage daily in barefeet or worn-out shoes. After we left, our contact in the Peace Corps was able to help station another Peace Corps member in Cocori. After spending extensive time with the community leaders, they decided one thing that would really help their community is to have a place for their kids to play sports. As a result, they applied for a court, and we will be journeying down this upcoming May. This trip is open to anyone but primarily will be made up of business leaders and their children. An informational packet will be available soon.
Summer-exact dates coming soon
Rameswaram is a small island in between India and Sri Lanka. We are partnering with a Christian ministry on the island to provide a court for their 600 students and 150 orphans, as well as the neighboring community. Many of the orphans have literally been rescued from death by the ministry in an effort to protect children who cannot be supported by their parents, and as a result, are given over to be murdered shortly after birth. Sports Development is lacking in India, and this will be the only sports court on the entire island, to our knowledge. This trip is currently not available to the general public, however, this could change. Contact us to find out about availability.
July 14-28
Missamana is a small community near Kankan in northern Guinea. This area is home to the Malinke tribe. In addition to providing a court for the community, we will stay in the community and literally be immersed into an incredible culture of singing, dancing and other activities. While incredibly poor materialistically, the culture is extremely rich in many other ways. This promises to be a very rewarding experience. This trip is contingent on us being able to find enough people. We need at least 12 people to sign up by January 15th, in order to commit. Sign up now and help us make this trip a reality. If you sign up and we cancel the trip, your money will be 100% refunded. For a packet of information, click here.
If you have a group or team of 12 or more and would like to plan a trip specific to your needs, we can help. Fill out our trip application and we will be in touch with you.
