After two decades of civil war the people of Gulu, Uganda need YOUR help. For over 3 years, the Charlotte Eagles and the Sports Outreach Institute have been teaming up to help rebuild the war-ravaged community of Gulu in Northern Uganda through the Gifts for Gulu project. The purpose is to assist traumatized children and individuals living in the war zones of Northern Uganda and to help provide for the urgent needs of these people. Through the generous support of Eagles fans the Good News Community Center is being built in the city of Gulu. The Center is a place where can children come, get basic education, eat a meal, play sports, and most importantlyreceive some hope.
