The
CTCTen
Fondation, in conjunction with the Franklin & Marshall
Men’s Soccer Team, has undertaken a unique project to help effect
change in the world. The Foundation has targeted Site B Khayelitsha
Township as an area to develop using sport. The genesis of program
came out of a shared sadness as result of the passing of
Christopher Campbell. It was the wishes of his family and friends
that as a tribute to his energetic spirit, a living memorial be
built in his name.
CTC Ten has fundraised and constructed the Chris Campbell Center in
Khayelitsha, South Africa. The Facility is a haven for impoverished
children and is an outlet for them to play and learn in a safe
environment. An annual internship has been created for a Franklin
& Marshall College student athlete to spend a year in
Khayelitsha. The intern will teach athletic and life skills and
encourage healthy life style choices. The Facility also has a
community center and classroom which will enhance the work of the
intern. The Cambpbell Center welcomes anyone interested in
investing in these people, including Cape Town focused NGO's and
College and Universities interested in public health and social
entrepreneurship. The CTC Ten Foundation, in conjunction with the
F&M Team, families and alumni are doing all they can to create
and maintain a sustainable legacy in Khayelitsha through the
facility and the annual internship. It is through the generous
support of everyone that this vision will continue. >To learn
