Land Purchase : $1500
The club would like to purchase 1.5 acres on which to build a residential
training facility. A plot of this size will allow the club to
produce much of the food they need, and it can also provide aa area
for teaching and demonstrating agricultural development techniques.
Construction: $1000 - $1500
Once land has been purchased, it will be necessary to construct
buildings to house athletes, for cooking, and a chapel/classroom
structure. It is our desire to construct buildings that will
not only be useful to the club, but ones that can also be beneficial
to the community as a whole. These buildings would also be
used to host development workshops, AIDS awareness seminars, vocational
training, academic workshops for college scholarship prospects and
community events. Your support for this project will be a
tremendous benefit to the entire community.
Sponsorship:
We at Chepkero Athletics Club welcome sponsorship inquiries from
any interested parties, whether individual or corporate .
You might want to consider sponsoring individual athletes, providing
assistance to fund resident tutors for the camp, or many other options.
A commitment of just ten dollars per month can feed, house, and
transport an athlete.
Equipment: Donation of the following
items can greatly benefit our efforts:
Computer Equipment - we would like to provide basic computer orientation
and computer based test preparation. Machines, particularly laptops
running at 300Mhz or better would be a real blessing.
Shoes, clothes - they may be old to you, but they're new to us.
Donations of second-hand running shoes and apparel are great.
Volunteers:
Within the next year we hope to be in a position to host and utilize
volunteers from abroad who can lend their gifts in person.
From tutoring the athletes, to conducting AIDS awareness sessions
for the community, to teaching agriculture, to assisting in local
medical clinics; it is very unlikely that we can't find some place
for you to plug in and help. Athletes who wish to come and
train while serving are welcome, and we are working to affiliate
with a non-profit body in the U.S. to facilitate fund raising activities.
Think about it, and we'll find something for you.
The correct channels have been established to insure that your
support is used as effectively as possible. If you would like
to be a part of what we're doing, please contact, Jay Bawcom or send an email
to the Editor of Time-to-Run. You are also welcome to include us
in your prayers, and you're not required to contact any of us to
do this.
