Alster Groobos Hockey Project

THE ALSTER GROOTBOS HOCKEY PROJECT

Unite South Africa´s children through sports and enhance their education, that is our aim! Since 2009, we work together with the Grootbos Foundation in South Africa to make the world of the children in the area of Gansbaai a little bit better.

COVID-UPDATE:

Dear Friends of our project,

the current pandemic faces us with different challenges, thus, our project in South Africa is currently not able to continue the sport projects. While our team in South Africa supports local projects in the townships to fight COVID-19, we are trying to enlarge our network to hopefully soon be able to support projects in other territories in the world. Therefore, we continuously need you, as volunteers, sponsors, or in the future again at our live events. Please understand that we are currently unable to send volunteers to Grootbos, probably until the end of the year. We hope that we are then going to be able to begin our projects again.

Even though we are currently not able to announce when we can provide volunteer spots again, we would like to hear from you. If you are interested in working as a volunteer with us in the future, please get in touch with us. We look forward to hearing from you. Stay safe!
