African Bush Camps support Dete sports event

In collaboration with the Jane Bubear Sports Foundation

The 5th Annual African Bush Camps Foundation 10 km fun run was held in the village of Dete in Hwange, Zimbabwe on the 6th April 2012. Organised in collaboration with the Jane Bubear Sports Foundation, the 10km Fun Run held in Dete sees surrounding communities taking part in the race, together with a team of volunteers raising sponsorship both locally and internationally.

The aim of the event is to bring together the community in a positive context, as well as build community spirit. It is also meant to benefit some of the remote villages who usually do not receive any attention.

During the four day stay in Dete, the Jane Bubear Sports Foundation volunteers also donate educational gifts and rugby shirts to local primary and secondary schools. In 2012, the Foundation provided one of the primary school’s with a much needed modem to enable them to get internet access for the first time and delivered the team football team strips kindly donated by Brentford FC to the Detema Secondary School First Boys Football Team.
