DOXA |
Ubuntu Athletics made another international contribution when we paired up with DOXA. DOXA (www.doxaserves.org) is a non-profit organization that serves the community of Tijuana, Mexico through educational opportunities, house-building, and community service. We really believed in the DOXA cause and wanted to help the them out. We partnered with DOXA to start soccer camps in the orphanage that DOXA supported. Ubuntu provided the funds for the coach, Laozeth Chan, a former professional soccer player, as well as payed for the equipment and transportation, in order to make it all possible. We feel like it is a real blessing to be able to give these orphans another thing to look forward to in their lives. In fact, we have been tracking the soccer camps, and the kids are having a blast! Ubuntu Athletics recently contributed to the afterschool program that DOXA hosts in Tijuana next to the orphanage. We donated 5 laptops and 5 robotics kits to DOXA, and trained the teachers at the program to run their own independent robotics classes using our donations. The afterschool program helps 60-70 students at no charge, and is now offering STEM robotics classes.
