Sharing how your life can change by succeeding in sport, academically or in business encourages children to make the right choices for themselves. Events/volunteer

  1. My request for our children at my school. MItchell’s Plain school of skills. Many of our learners are poor and gets choosen to participate in National Games but can’t even afford to purchase new takkies or a tracksuit. Is there anyway you can assist us.

    Hi Celia, we understand the challenge in the communities out there with regards to equipment for kids etc. As we are a charity organisation ourselves we are also reliant on funds to ensure that our JAG programmes we have function and we look after the kids on our programmes. We currently have 4 programmes running in the Mitchell’s area. Good luck and all the best with the great work you are doing. (Using sport as a catalyst for change)

  3. Marquerithe Schreuder says:

    How does one initiate Mighty Meters and/or ProNutro Runners in a community such as Hangberg, Hout Bay? We have people in the community that are willing to support the programme but don’t know where to start – E.g. do we create a team and then look for a corporate sponsor that can adopt the team? What are the requirements to create a team?
    Further to Celia’s request – can you maybe explain to her how she can set up her own team at her school OR shoudl she join the other teams that are operating in Mitchells Plain – and how does one “join” a team.

    Thanks, Marquerithe
