*not all funding came directly to Blood Origins for this project.
The John X Foundation has completed a number projects related to the infrastructure of the buildings, water supply, electricity, school supplies and security at the Carlisle Bridge Country School, and are moving towards the next phase of development. We know it wont be easy under current Covid-19 conditions but we’re up for getting it done. The Foundation has teamed up with Blood Origins and together we will embark on one of the most exciting projects the Foundation has taken on to date.
The importance of education to young people can never be understated, but so too the importance of sport and what a healthy live style does for the development of children.
The kids primarily play both Soccer and Netball at the school. An action soccer field and a couple of netball courts will form the basis of a sports facility. This would allow a dual purpose of the same facility for both girls and boys as well as accommodating two different sports. A supporters stand will be erected too as to create a lovely sense of togetherness in the community and for each team to hear their supporters loud and clear.

THE PLANS
THE OUTCOME
The entire project, including construction and filming, was a little over $28,000. There was additionally a yeoman’s effort of the community and others that gave their time and materials (t-shirts, bibs) freely, including graphic designers (thanks to Tristan Dummer) to make sure this project was executed perfectly. Construction from when the first shovel went into the ground to completion of kids playing on the field was 4 weeks! A team that specialized in similar projects throughout South Africa came in and built this phenomenal field. The entire process was filmed and the film will be released in 2021.
This project has given the kids a facility like they would never have imagined in their wildest dreams, but it also provides evidence of what hunters do! It’s time for the truth to be heard about hunters and our efforts!
