They kick a ball
around a dirt field that most Barbadian footballers would
probable turn their nose up at!

However they are committed,
keen and good at the game.
So good in fact that this year they were the
Champions!

Land has been identified not
far from the church that is an ideal location for the new
playing field and Mission Holiday Village.
We urgently need to build a clubhouse and
a bus is needed to transport the team and church members
to various games and outreach activities. |

UCT seeks to mobilize and involve
the Haitian youth, using sports, in the fight against AIDS
in Haiti. To educate the youth in behavior changes focusing
on abstinence prior to marriage and faithfulness during marriage
as the only 100% way to fight AIDS. |
| Sports form part of an innovative
new approach towards youth and HIV prevention. Former Director
General of the World Health Organization, Dr. Gro Harlem Brundtland
describes it in the following terms: “Out of Africa comes
a new method of using sport to unite children and youth to form
an alliance against the ravages of HIV/AIDS. Infected or not,
young people can find strength and information in games and
the joy of sports.” -The progam is called - KICKING
AIDS OUT |
