Great changes in Adopt a Club by Mortson B Kasoma

Division two, just two steps to

Premier League.

Our many boys and girls have

completed school within the

morals of Adopt a club as well

as seeing many of them been

called for positions in higher

teams.

We have started revamping

some of the bad pitches to

building them into safe pitch-

es for our youth and sur-

rounding communities. The

list would go on! To sum it all,

we didn’t see the staircase,

we just took the first step and

looking behind, we realise

we have moved more steps

and getting to the top.

(con�nues on page 2)

Adopt a Club has always be-

lieved that the secret of

change is to focus all of your

energy, not on fighting the

old, but on building the new.

We have had a lot of success

in the past which we can

boast of now as well as chal-

lenges that we need not hold

on to but press on to a bright-

er future.

We have successfully created

the first Dream League in

Ndola, which this year has

grown to more than 20 teams.

We have adopted more than

10 clubs, which are now run-

ning independent of our eve-

ryday support, and have been

enabled to run efficiently with

minimal supervision from us.

We have not only affected

change in our home town but

extended that change to other

towns as well. We have influ-

enced one of the girls’ teams,

the Evergreen, to enter into

the Copperbelt Football Asso-

ciation of Zambia, FAZ

league. One of the first adopt-

ed teams, Superade, has been

given yet a slot in the Football

Association of Zambia, FAZ

league and is now playing in

a big contrast from what we are used to in

Denmark.

Living in Dream House was a really good

base where nothing was missing. Here

we had a good foundation for

preparation and relaxing. It was

also nice to live next to such a

warm and helpful family that we

got to know really well. It was

sad to leave Zambia but we got

home with a feeling of having

done something good and with

so many new great experiences

that can help us in our future.

Dream Factory is definitely re-

commendable!

we have the Dream League running on

fine, probably the best in the whole Cop-

perbelt region, we have the Dream Cup

set for the last quarter of the year, we are

adopting further clubs to

include in our other success-

ful clubs, we have volunteers

coming to help in the train-

ing activities, notably, the

founder of Adopt a Club,

Simon Linde from Denmark

is coming to Zambia in july/

august to help us even fur-

ther.

We are so proud of you, the

reader, the supporter, that

have been on board and you

can be sure that this year will

further produce more suc-

cess stories than ever told!

You do more than just exist.

You are here for a reason

and Adopt a Club needs

YOU! Thank you.

The work could have seemed a challenge

at first but now, its fruits continue encour-

aging us to do more because

we now know that smart and

hard work will always yield

results.

Yes, there has been chal-

lenges along the way, among

them, the transportation of

players from one point to

another, having players

playing without boots due to

non-availability of affordable

boots, having some youth

drop out of school due to

lack of sponsorship and in-

deed, not finding employ-

ment for those that do man-

age to complete high school.

Just because some events in

the past did not turn out like

we wanted it to, it doesn’t mean

(con�nued from page 1) our future can’t be better than we’ve ever

imagined. Every single day has always

given Adopt a Club another chance to

improve on its activities and just this year,

Volunteer story by Sofie and Mathilde

Our stay in Zambia with Dream Factory

has been so life affirming. We stayed in

Dream House for (five) 5 weeks and we

came home with so many new experi-

ences and memories!

It’s amazing to see how happy you

can make other people by doing

simple things. During our stay we

helped at different projects such as

teaching in physical education and

art at the Buyantanshi Community

School, helping at the Isubilo com-

munity center and teaching kids in

Art Class. Furthermore, we also

visited the Girls transient home in

Twapia every Saturday. It made

our day to see the girls run happily

towards us as we entered the gate

to the transient home, and to see

how happy and excited the pupils

got when they found out that we were

going to teach them.

Besides working at the projects, we got to

see parts of the Zambian culture, which is

the pictures, we had a great day during

the micro-loan giving which was combi-

ned with graduation for previously empo-

wered women and the day went on as

planned. The day was a major motivation

for the women from this year, seeing their

friends graduating with full of testimonies

on how they had improved in their busi-

nesses, development with their Christi-

an life and their home improvements.

2015 women have a lot of plans and some

of them have already started yielding

results. Among the projects include the

rearing of chickens and knitting pro-

grams wherein others have specialised in

knitting door mats. We believe that this

year shall be the year of abundant bles-

sings.

This department really appreciate the so

many people that have always come to

our help and we pray that God will richly

bless them abundantly.

We are so grateful about how God is re-

creating this great with women Empower-

ment project since the year 2013 to 2015.

This Department is receiving more favour

from God and we are so grateful for that.

The project is experiencing new Deve-

lopments and has great plans for the futu-

re. Special things are indeed happening.

Since Dream Factory started empower-

ment women in 2013, 60 women have so

far directly benefited from the project.

This interven-

tion has made

enormous

changes in

this poor com-

munity,

Nkwazi

Township.

Going by Pro-

verbs 19:17, if

you help the

poor, you are

lending to the

lord. And He

(God) will

repay you.

(volunteers 2014) After 3 months as volunteers, we can

warmly recommend Dream Factory, Zam-

bia. We have participated in many diffe-

rent projects. We helped to start an Art

Group for children in Nkwazi township,

we arranged a football club for girls, we

taught athletics at Buyantanshi School and

played with 20 girls at an orphanage. All

projects have taught us a lot and made a

great impression on us.

Personally, we have learned to be bold

enough to be independent in a foreign

culture and stand in front of foreigners to

present our thoughts and ideas. It is great

to be aware that others appreciate your

presence and that you are making a diffe-

rence for orphans and vulnerable chil-

dren in a developing country.

As a volunteer with Dream Factory, Zam-

bia you have the added bonus that social

work can be combined with adventure. It

has not only been work, but we have also

had some exciting excursions. We had a

safari trip to South Luangwa game park,

where we enjoyed watching the fantastic

African wild life.

We have been living in the new Dream

House. We have been very happy for this

base from where we could prepare for

the work in the projects and relax. When

you are a volunteer in Dream Factory,

Zambia, you experience a completely

different culture. You learn to think very

creatively and always contemplate a plan

B or C, you move your borders, you make

a difference, you experience new things

and you have a great time.

If you consider becoming a volun-

teer with us, find out more infor-

mation at our website, and do not

hesitate to contact us.
