On February 18th, WhizzKids United team member Theo Mitchell safely reached the summit and conquered Mt. Kilimanjaro for WhizzKids United. In a span of five days, he reached the famed "roof of Africa" by traveling, hiking and climbing through five uniquely different environments.

This past Saturday, February 4th, WhizzKids United had the opportunity to participate in Durban's very own i heart market. It was the first time that the NGO was able to work and showcase its sport-for-youth development programme in the city's popular once-a-month market place.

In less than two weeks, WhizzKids United team member Theo Mitchell will climb Mt. Kilimanjaro for the children of the WhizzKids United Health Academy. To show support for WhizzKids United and his effort, Durban's own Earthmother Organic has decided to partner with the charity for this tremendous cause.

Everyday my organization WhizzKids United interacts with beautiful children in South Africa that daily must climb over a mountain of obstacles. From avoiding the traps of poverty to the pitfalls of HIV and AIDS, many adolescents are constantly faced with challenges that potentially hinder their full development.

We have uploaded the Final Report for our WhizzKids United Mixed Gender Football League which took place from October 2010 to March 2011 which was run with Nike RED Funding managed by King Baudouin Foundation.

On International Worlds AIDS Day, December 1st 2010, WhizzKids United hosted a World Cup style football tournament. The World AIDS Day Tournament was a fundraiser for WhizzKids United's football-based HIV/ AIDS prevention programmes across South Africa.

WhizzKids United are inviting local NGOs and corporates to make people aware of WORLDS AIDS DAY on 1 December 2010. WhizzKids United are holding a world cup style football tournament at the Clarence Road Primary School which will also be a great opportunity to team build and network locally.
