Pompey Sports & Education Foundation have teamed up with Kenyan Adventure to offer supporters an opportunity of a lifetime, spending 10 days working with a range of community projects in a developing area of south-western Kenya.
From Monday, September 10 to Friday, September 21 2012, a group of Pompey fans will form the charity’s first ever group trip to sub-Saharan Africa to give something back to the international community, while also enjoying a unique travel experience.
From football coaching and building work to teaching in schools and community work with children, there are a number of project roles to choose from and the trip will require dynamic, enthusiastic individuals to help us achieve our goal to improve the lives of people less fortunate than us. You do not need to be qualified in your chosen field – you will be provided with teaching/sports coaching resources prior to departure to support you.
The trip also aims to raise £20,000 for Pompey Sports & Education Foundation, which will provide the registered charity (number 1126118) with vital funds to continue supporting local people in the Portsmouth area.
Included in the trip is an incredible Rift Valley Adventure Day, a three-part adventure day comprising of a morning game drive in Lake Nakuru National safari park – the second most visited in Kenya – a stop off at the earth’s equator and an adventure trail at Thomson Falls near Nyahururu.
Individuals are asked to raise approximately £2,000 in order to take part, of which £812.50 will be raised for the Pompey Sports & Education Foundation. The Foundation will be holding a number of fundraising events to raise awareness of the trip and to help participants raise the required amount.
