On October 11th, 2024, the grounds of the Kampiringisa National Rehabilitation Centre were alive with excitement and energy as the Sports Gala brought together children, staff, and organizations united by a shared purpose: to uplift and empower the youth.

The event was a collaborative effort, with representatives from the Ministry of Gender, Labour, and Social Development, Amplified Voices Network Uganda, Great Child Foundation, CJI Ministries, Holy Street Outreach, and Kampiringisa elders in attendance. It aimed to provide a platform for the children to showcase their talents in music, dance, drama, and sports while promoting their rights and well-being.

The day began with a spirited marching session through the center, setting the tone for an inspiring event. Children participated in various sports activities, including netball, football, and creative games, demonstrating teamwork, skill, and enthusiasm. Their performances in music, dance, and drama were equally captivating, showcasing their immense talent and creativity.

Organizations, including Great Child Foundation, introduced themselves and shared their missions. A representative from the Ministry of Gender praised the impactful work being done and encouraged continued collaboration to support the children further. Artists from Talent Walls added a spark of inspiration with their performances, connecting deeply with the young audience.

Lunch was graciously provided by the Kampiringisa National Rehabilitation Centre, giving everyone a moment to bond and reflect. Members of the Great Child Foundation interacted personally with the children, listening to their stories and gaining insight into their challenges and dreams. These conversations underscored the urgent need to advocate for their rights and ensure a safe environment for their growth.
 
As the day came to a close, the event was hailed as a success. It was a testament to what can be achieved when individuals and organizations come together for a common cause. Connections were made, and commitments to future collaborations were discussed, ensuring that the momentum would continue.
 
Great Child Foundation team returned home safely, filled with gratitude and determination to do more. The day was not just about sports or performances—it was about giving these children hope and a voice, reminding them that they are seen, valued, and supported.
