Play For Hope

I wanted to help you to get to know who is working with Play For Hope in Rwanda.  Today I want to introduce you to the man who we are working with intimately to make this happen, Serieux Kanamugire.

Serieux with his one year old son Harmony

Serieux is 31 years old and is married to Francine. He has a one year old son named Harmony. Serieux has done street kids ministries with a focus on soccer for eight years. In that time he has owned and trained five soccer clubs the majority of which consisted of street children. He has successfully helped many of these children to get off and remain off of the streets. Serieux was the visionary of the Play For Hope tournament this past summer and set up many of the summer programs including the trainings and many of the clinics.

He has received trainings from Youth With A Mission (YWAM) both in Rwanda and in Texas and has been trained by Sports Friends in Ethiopia. In addition, he has assisted in teaching discipleship training at YWAM. He also has run a series of successful ministries including Harvesters and a streetkids drama and dancing program. He was also the Associate Producer of a film entitled Muyurangabou which was shown in the Cannes Film Festival. He has a passion for training leaders and helping children identify and develop their talents.
