JAG Sports and Education Foundation

Tijdens de Cape Epic 2010 willen we graag wat aandacht geven aan "JAG Sports and Education Foundation". Dit is een organisatie die zich inzet voor de kansarme kinderen in Zuid-Afrika. Dit doen zij door een aantal sport activiteiten en faciliteiten te ontwikkelen. Door een klein bedrag per jaar te sponsoren kunnen zij deze activiteiten verder uitbreiden zodat elk kind daaraan kan deelnemen.

The JAG Sports and Education Foundation, headed by Olympic medalist Elana Meyer, launched in April 2007. The Foundation has made a difference to more than twenty five thousand children in the short space of time that it has been operational by using sport and education as a weapon against drugs and crime.
"The Foundation supports children using schools as a vehicle and sport as the fuel. The future of South Africa depends on nourishing our children, ensuring they are first and foremost protected from the harm of drugs and gangsterism; and secondly that they have access to the opportunities to be fit and healthy, to increase their self worth and to help them focus on their studies,' said Meyer. Our mission at JAG is to give young people opportunities and pride in themselves, enhancing personal development and promoting leadership and peace."
