Project Report | May 30, 2018
A New Coach for PTOR

By Nancy Amanti | Project Leader

We are happy to welcome Rofhiwa Tshirumbula, a professional runner from Dopeni Village, as the new PTOR running coach. He has taken charge of organizing practices and choosing the best marathons for the runners to enter. Our teens respect Rofhiwa and with his guidance they continue to learn important racing strategies.

Nine committed runners (7 boys and 2 girls) are preparing for 2 marathons to be held in July. The Rhino Run is scheduled for July 21st in Polokwane and the Foskor Run will be held in Palaborwa on July 28th. Four boys were able to attend running camp at VMS last weekend while the other teens were busy with midyear school exams. Additional runners continue to train but are not yet sufficiently conditioned to participate. Given the appropriate time and financial support we hope to be able to offer these opportunities to all teens who wish to participate.

Thank you to everyone who offered financial support through the GlobalGiving Accelerator program. Your generosity has given these youths hope and ambition. Please consider encouraging others to support this worthy cause through your own social media outlets. Thanks again to Rofhiwa and to our Donors!
