Let’s play!

“If kids in our programmes know love and belonging, we believe they will give love and belonging back to those around them” - Janine Robinson

We are bringing kids of all ages together twice a week for a couple of hours fun. It’s an irresistible distraction from the day to day challenges faced by these kids. Right on the edge of town, it attracts over 100 kids and gives us the perfect opportunity to chat and get to know these little hero’s who live in our community.

We believe recreational activities reduce stress and anxiety, and in Gulu Uganda where so much hardship is apparent, recreational opportunities for children are scarce.

We continue to run our program every Thursday afternoon, providing 30 boards, free to use to around 100 children. We’ve been so blessed to see these children learn and grow through play and exercise.

We believe that sport is a really important part of learning and growing up! Understanding your place in the world is a real fundamental way of understanding who you are. Many western cultures are rich with opportunity to explore sports, here the opportunities are fewer. Sports develop important skills in learning: setting goals, being committed to a process, discovering who you are, learning to interact with the world, finding your purpose, believing in yourself ... the list is endless.
