A Huge Thank You from Kids from Cambodia, Uganda, South
Africa and India!
Cambodia
Pacific
Academy students had the opportunity to work with a group of children in the
outskirts of Phnom Penh, Cambodia. The children in these pictures are
from families where parents earn from $5 to $6 per day so the church, through
sponsorship, are able to provide basic education to these families. The
teacher in the picture was very grateful for the donation of the soccer
uniforms which she indicated will be shared among many children in their
neighbourhood. Thank you so very much!
South Africa
In South Africa Pacific Academy gave donated soccer
equipment to a very needy school in Phunanane, Limpopo province in Northern South
Africa. These are mostly orphan children
who have very little in terms of toys, sports equipment and clothing. The uniforms, cleats and soccer balls gave
many students a chance to learn and play soccer (or football as they call
it). Thank you very much!
Uganda
Pacific Academy sponsors a school in Kibaale, Rakai District
in South Eastern Uganda. This is an
extremely poor area of the country that has been devastated by the HIV epidemic
and drought. Pacific Academy students
were able to give uniforms and soccer balls from the donations to allow children
to play their favorite sport: football (soccer). They cheered as the school principal was
given the equipment. Thank you so much
for your generosity!
India
Pacific Academy students had the opportunity to visit a school in Nagpur India at spring break. This is a school for boys of the lowest cast. They receive a quality education at this school and were so thankful to receive a donation of soccer equipment. Although their favorite sport is cricket, they enjoy playing soccer and the soccer balls and uniforms were a great blessing!
