Cantonments Football Club, Ghana

By Harry Kent, Programme Advisor - UK

Tomorrow the mother city of South Africa, Cape Town, will host the draw for the 2010 World Cup.

This is promised to be a vibrant traditional African affair welcoming the competition to the continent for the first time in history.

The Grammy award-winning Soweto Gospel Choir, Benin’s singer-songwriter Angelique Kidjo and one of South Africa’s greatest music exports Johnny Clegg will be entertaining at this nail biting event.

With 5 Projects Abroad destinations (South Africa, Ghana, Brazil, Mexico and Argentina) making the cut this tournament is set to be an exciting time for the Projects Abroad community.

Having spent time in Africa I know the attitude towards football and I am sure this tournament is going to have an incredible atmosphere, lets hope we stay in long enough to enjoy it!

With a variety of worthwhile volunteer projects in Cape Town what better time to give something back and enjoy the world’s favourite game?

If you’re interested in getting involved in a soccer program in Cape Town, South Africa than stay tuned for the release of our new World Cup Football Community Outreach project being launched in January 2010 on the blog and our website.

Tune in to BBC 2 at 5.15pm tomorrow (December 5th) to catch the draw as it happens.
