Kids Play International: Sports and Education Programs
Volunteers have the unique opportunity to have a trip led or to work alongside Olympic and elite athletes in schools and orphanages in developing countries such as Rwanda and Malawi, where kids have few opportunities to play sports. KPI volunteer teams have transported much needed sports equipment to rural communities in Africa, set up sports rooms for Let's Play! Community Sports Education Program and used sport to teach life lessons that can be used both on and off the playing field.
KPI looks for volunteers of all ages, who are flexible, open minded travelers wanting a real, firsthand experience and are interested in sports, active play, health, fitness and education.
