The Gift Of Giving
“From my days as a child watching famine strangle Ethiopia, I made a promise to myself to do whatever I could to help those, and others, when I was old enough, and had the means to do so. I want to tell you about my vehicle to fulfil that desire.” Clarence Seedorf. Founder, Champions for Children
As a multi-faceted entrepreneur, the final objective of Clarence Seedorf’s business undertakings is to make a difference on a larger scale through his foundation dedicated to children in difficulty around the world. Champions for Children o.n.l.u.s. is a non-profit foundation born to sustain, help, educate, protect and support the conditions in which children and young people grow up in developing countries.
Our new project
South Africa - Manenberg
Champions Playground
The first Champions Playground will be achieved in Manenberg, township of Cape Town, in South Africa, and it will be inaugurate during the FIFA World Cup in 2010. It is a very special project, born thanks to the cooperation among Champions for Children Foundation, the Nelson Mandela Foundation, the Università Cattolica del Sacro Cuore and the University of the Western Cape.
Champions Playground is based on an educational model that provides opportunities for children from vulnerable areas to develop their own abilities through sports and creative activities. The Champions Playground’s methodology can be adapted to specific local circumstances with the assistance of local institutions and used in different countries all over the world. Training of the operators is an essential aspect in guaranteeing the replication and sustainability of the project.
