Change A Child's Life

A hopeful message
These days, the kids are still working hard to get their high school degrees. All of the fifteen kids are still in the programme and are working hard every day. They are still grateful for the opportunities they can get from United Through Sport and “Change a Child’s Life” project. All the donations will go towards books, food, transport, uniforms, stationary and school fees. So far we are about half way towards our fundraising goal to support all of the children.

To help us reach our fundraising target we have organised a sponsored run, with the runners being volunteers from United Through Sport. With this run we will try to get as many donations as possible. The run will be held on national ‘’Youth Day’’ in South Africa. Which is a perfectly fitting day to be able to complete our goal and cover the cost for these children for the rest of the year. If you want to follow this event, please go to the Facebook page of ‘’Change a Child’s life’’, here you can follow the whole run, while we’re filming it live for you. We will organise another run in the Netherlands as well, which is happening in a few weeks. The goal of this run is exactly the same as the run we have organised in Port Elizabeth to help us reach our final fundraising target for the year.

Once again, thank you for the donations we have received so far, which have covered school fees, transport, books and extra tuition for the 15 children for the first 6 months of the year. We really appreciate every donation, it is really giving these children a chance to change their lives. We hope you will keep supporting us, to reach our goal.
