"Today was another great day in Fields of Dreams' work in Uganda. I had the honor of meeting with the wonderful teachers of New Kabaale Busega to share our DREAMS plan. They were beyond thrilled to hear what a great program it was and just what it will mean for their students. They believe that this plan will help produce more focused students even at the Primary Level which will continue to boost them into excellence in Secondary schooling. They too were eager to share with the students. I was given the
opportunity to speak with the P5, P6, and P7 (5th-7th grade) students. The children echoed the teachers' enthusiasm and asked many good questions.
I was also able to see their hearts and talents lived out as both boys and girls prepared for the upcoming Fields of Dreams soccer tournament next week. The children cannot wait to have the opportunity to travel and to play a real officiated game of both football (soccer) and netball against their
peers from other schools. So many of the programs in Uganda are truly wonderful and irreplaceable, and Fields of Dreams is among them. Children are getting the chance to experience some true moments of joy through athletics and are also receiving the opportunity to discover themselves, their talents, and abilities to ensure a successful life."
