Event: Summer 6 Stations Tournament, July 2017

/in , /by

For the first edition of the Summer version of the tournament, the organising team (Yann Delaigue, Stéphane Rouault, Francis Ntamack et Cedric Debrosse) chose to support Serge Betsen Academy and Rugby French Flair associations.

We enjoy the visibility offered by this event, during all this crazy week! One week allowing all these Veterans to get together over the oval ball and to share other activities with the public, especially the kids. They even walked on the water!

   

For more information about the Summer version of the 6 Stations Tournament, take a look at photos and videos on Facebook … Seeing is believing!

Unfortunately, the crowdfunding platform did not work as we expect. But we will be back for the Winter version with new ideas to collect funds and support our projects.

Testimonial: Adeline, major of the “Eau Claire” promotion

/in /by

We feel intense emotions sometimes, especially when opening our mailbox and reading:

“Hello,

My name is Tchounga Tchoua Adeline. I am 18 and I was in the first promotion of the centre “L’Eau Claire” in Bangangte.

I am currently studying international business in a Cameroon’s university called IUG.

I would like to thank the association for supporting me up to this stage of my life. I will be grateful for the rest of my life and I would like to ask you to keep on doing this way, as you cannot imagine how much people you help. Words don’t come easy to tell my joy, so I can only say THANK YOU !

I am sending you my transcript of notes for this year, as a proof of my implication in pursuing my studies and because it is also my way to thank you.

Thanks again and hope to see you soon.”

It is not always easy to build the SBA, being turned down from partnership demands, managing the distance, but all the difficulties disappear against this kind of testimonial.

Thanks Adeline and congratulations for your academic year.

Donation: LaptopService provides SBA with PCs

/in , /by

LaptopService has always supported SBA and keeps doing a lot for us.

Following the construction of our new centre, they decided to make a donation of 10 new computers, in order to replace our old equipment.

Thanks to this donation, filling a real need, we equipped our new center of “L’Eau Claire”.

 

This donation also benefited to Adeline, 18, member of the first promotion at “L’Eau Claire”, who has been our best student at SBA for years. Pursuing his studies at the university, she needed a PC to work in better conditions.

Huge thanks to Sylvain, Julien and all the team of LaptopService !

Media: Fair-Play talking about us

/in /by

When launching the new magazine Fair-Play at the beginning of the year, Serge Betsen had the opportunity to meet its director.

This new bi-monthly magazine is dedicated to the Rugby world, people and players. It also brings visibility to the women involved in this sport, those often left in the shadow. As you know we at the SBA do not compromise in this area!

In addition to all these values that we share, an association is selected by the editorial team for each edition, in order to collect £ 0,50 for each sold copy of the magazine.

Obviously, we kindly invite you to buy this magazine, supporting our association and others in the future, but also for the quality of the articles and original stories.

Enjoy reading it like Serge !
