Information about the challenge – registration is no longer possible
On 13 June 2020, together with our partner FMK Uganda e.V. in Germany, we are starting with the big donation and sports challenge event to cover 8,381 kilometres by 11 July 2020!
Anyone can take part and collect kilometres – on foot, on the bike or in the water! You can register with your name or a pseudonym in the registration form below and make a voluntary donation as participation fee on the Betterplace plattform.
After each time of running or biking etc., you should post the kilometres travelled on our facebook event, in instagram or sent them informally via mail to info@fmk-uganda.de. We will record the kilometres and a weekly ranking of the three most diligent participants per sport will be published and at the end a final evaluation will be provided. A certificate of participation will be issued upon request and several non-cash prizes will also be raffled off among the participants.
Why?
8,381 kilometres is the distance between Regensburg and Masaka, Uganda. We, IMLS together with FMK Uganda e.V., would like to overcome this distance symbolically together.
Due to the Corona pandemic, the planned return visit of Ugandan teachers of IMLS to further the partnership project, initiated in 2018, at the Sing- und Music School of the city of Regensburg as well as the Himbisa Mukama 2020 project had to be cancelled. As a consequence, for the time being, we will not be hearing German and African melodies from the Himbisa Mukama Choir and the Ugandan teachers will not be receiving further musical training in Germany.
Instead, we want to support our school, the International School of Music, Languages and Studio Production (IMLS) in Uganda by “burning calories” from 13.06. to 11.07.2020 at the abovementioned sport event, that entails accumulating kilometres, the teachers of the IMLS were not able to hold because of Corona.
For more information, please visit www.fmk-uganda.de.
All right, let’s go! Combine your own training objectives with a good cause – each one for himself / herself and yet all with each other- for a common challenge that will both help children in Uganda as well as further your own fitness!
Thank you very much for your participation!
