MINNEAPOLIS, MN. May 22, 2018 – 20 Future Leaders of Sport™ will participate in mission trips to orphanages in five different African countries this summer, due to a successful year of fundraising by Managers on a Mission (MOAM). This is the fifth year the charitable organization has connected aspiring sports professionals with the needs of vulnerable children. The five teams will be traveling to Ghana, Malawi, Uganda, Liberia, and Zambia
MOAM mission trips are funded by the unique Clean Out For a Cause® program and generous donations from Four13 Group. MOAM teams work in partnership with the Rafiki Foundation and spend three weeks providing educational and living services to vulnerable children and orphans. The children will be on school break, and one of the primary roles of each student missionary throughout their trip is to lead the children in sports activities each day.
Group participants will share their experience on MOAMs website in real-time throughout those 3 weeks, available at http://bit.ly/MOAMblog.
