13 June 2025 marked a powerful and heartfelt moment for the community of KwaZulu-Natal, as I'M A PATRIOT, a registered Non-Profit Organization, officially launched its Bring Sports Back to Schools initiative at Mavundla Primary School.

This flagship campaign aims to revive school sports in underprivileged communities—not just as a means of recreation, but as a vital tool for building discipline, teamwork, self-worth, and national pride among young South Africans.

As part of the launch, I'M A PATRIOT donated a full soccer and netball kit to the learners of Mavundla Primary. The handover event brought the school grounds to life, with cheers, laughter, and a spirit of unity. The joy and smiles on the children’s faces were priceless—a powerful reminder of how meaningful change begins with simple, tangible action.

“This day marks the beginning of a journey to restore the importance of sport in our schools. We believe sport plays a vital role in teaching discipline, teamwork, and pride in one’s community,”
— Ntando Denny, Representative of I'M A PATRIOT

The event also served as a Youth Day celebration, paying tribute to the history and resilience of young people in South Africa. Learners participated in a short educational session on patriotism, exploring what it means to be a responsible and proud citizen in today’s South Africa.

By blending sports, education, and civic values, this initiative is laying the foundation for a more active and empowered generation.

I'M A PATRIOT would like to express sincere gratitude to the sponsors and partners who helped make this special day possible
