GIVE THE GIFT OF GOLF THIS FATHER’S DAY

Find out how many holes of golf you can play in a weekend, while transforming lives in Africa.

and Uganda, and support our campaign headliner, Pastor John Burns in Canada.

Play as many holes of golf during the 3-day challenge that will take place during the Father’s Day weekend (19, 20 and 21 June 2015). Golfers of all skill levels can participate as you can play on selected regulation golf courses in USA

So not only is this a great event for serious golfers, it also works for families, businesses and church groups. Together, we can make a difference in the lives of orphaned children and vulnerable women in Uganda.

John is attempting to play 200 holes of golf in 24 hours, teeing off at midnight on 21 June. He is a 62 year-old pastor.

This is a unique evangelistic tool to engage your members – fathers, mothers and families – to celebrate Father’s Day, at the same time contributing to transforming lives in Africa. See participation details further on.

ABOUT WATOTO Watoto is not-for-profit organisation in East Africa looking after orphaned children and vulnerable women.

To date, Watoto has provided holistic, residential care for over 4,000 orphaned

and vulnerable children (about 3,000 in current care). This includes over 1,000 babies rescued from dire circumstances, as well as former child soldiers and those born to rebel leaders during the civil war. Some of these have already gone on to become lawyers, teachers, computer scientists, journalists, farmers, doctors, and are impacting society

positively as a result.

Through Watoto’s Living Hope initiative, dignity has been restored to almost 3,000 vulnerable women, who have been empowered with literacy, business and practical skills. Their children, more than 15,000 boys and girls, now have a better chance at a future.

The key aim of Watoto is to rescue vulnerable women and children, raise each one as productive citizens in their chosen profession, and empower them to help rebuild their nation.
