Since June, three representatives from “Auf Ballhöhe”, Johannes Schröpfer, Kyle Berger and OliverRathenow have been busy setting up a camp for 250 boys and girls from seven schools in Katutura. The camp will take place from the 13th of June until the 18th of June and will be held at the VanRhyn Primary School. In addition to the training camp, 20 teachers will receive training fromGerman pro-license coaches.
