We were excited to celebrate the first International Albinism Awareness Day at Kabanga, but we wanted to do something a little different from the typical speeches, and decided to host a soccer tournament.  There were six matches over several days, with the final match drawing over 800 locals. We handed out our “watu wenye ualbino ni binadamu kama sisi” bracelets and educational materials, and people watched integrated teams battle it out.  It was an exciting and different way to celebrate albinism awareness, with a positive message of inclusion and acceptance.

We look forward to a yearly event!
