Geofrey Becomes Student Ambassador at DCTC, Minnesota USA

Geofrey Kalanzi, one of our boys (young men) travelled to Minnesota on a partial athletic scholarship with Dakota County Technical College in July 2007. He played soccer, positioned as goal keeper for the his first season and the team had an outstanding season.

Geofrey received the award of Most Committed Player at the team's award banquet. Presented by his coach Cam Stolz and the college's president, they commented on his extraordinary work, his ability to adjust to so many changes, his good character, his team spirit, his humility and much more.

This has been an incredible opportunity for Geofrey and an absolute delight to us all as we watch him grow and mature into his destiny. Having immediately connected to the school, staff and other students, Geofrey was asked to apply for a position at school as one of the Student Ambassadors.

We would like to thank and honor DCTC for their amazing hospitality and demeanor with international students. They sincerely embraced Geofrey from the beginning and helped him to adjust to so many new things - school, academic procedures, culture, team, country, state, people, friends, coaches, driving, and more.

THANK YOU DCTC, especially Coach Cam and Patrick Lair and DCTC's President. Also a big THANK YOU to Timon and Hary from Germany who paid for Geofrey's airline ticket to the USA. And a final THANK YOU to all the donors who contributed to Geofrey's education, upbringing over the years, and his future!

All of the seeds sown into this young man's life are multiplying in the lives of so many whom he touches as well as his own. God bless you!
