PPI – South Africa’s City-Wide Tournament
Project Report
November 2011
PeacePlayers International would like to thank all of our supporters. Here is a brief summary of what all of your generous support has helped us accomplish.
Unfortunately, PPI – SA was unable to host our 19th City-Wide Tournament as planned on October 29th, 2011. Months of planning was spent prior to the scheduled date, creating relationships with trusted suppliers to have what was necessary to provide our participants with our culminating life skills and basketball event. However, due to unforeseen circumstances, our City-Wide Tournament did not take place.
In order to make up for the lack of our CWT, each program area hosted in-area tournaments to celebrate a semester full of hard work. Food was provided by the Department of Sports and Rec while aQuelle (South Africa’s leading flavored, bottle water brand) supplied 1,000 bottles of water, enough for every participant in our entire program. Our area coordinators headed out to their areas to organize the events, with help from office staff and the area’s school representatives.
We plan to host our 19th City-Wide at the beginning of next year to kick start our program off in the right direction.
