The Challenge Top Prize - A Trip of a Lifetime - Goa, India!

More than 50 students who have entered this challenge over the past 9 years belong to that special group of winners who have travelled to Goa in India on this amazing life changing prize! The winning team, along with their teacher and business mentor, will see first hand some of the mission work that Faith & Football support and meet some of the orphans and people who will benefit from part of the profits generated by the companies of the Social Enterprise & Business Challenge. Our hosts in India are Ricky & Gilly of Mustard Seed Ministries, a Christian Charity based in Portsmouth. This is not the usual tourist trip. Participants will visit orphanages and schools and experience for themselves daily Indian life. They will also have an opportunity to use their business skills by negotiating a good price for rice in the local market and then personally handing it out to needy families in some of the poorest villages.
Faith & Football cover the costs of flights, accommodation, breakfast, lunch and evening dinner, drinks, refreshments, all coach travel and entry fees. Participants will need only to bring a very small amount of spending money for bargain haggling and cover the costs of passports and visas.

Rick and Gilly head up the charity Mustard Seed Ministries which Faith and Football support in Goa, India.

Mustard Seed Ministries is a registered Christian charity. Their passion is to see lives transformed both locally and overseas through the love of Jesus Christ, so everything they do is with this in mind. They work in close relationship with a range of organisations, pastors and churches.

Mustard Seed Ministries is helping to support projects in India, the Philippines and Bangladesh that are bringing a positive change to the physical and spiritual lives of children, the elderly and dis-advantaged people.
Rick & Gilly are the Winning Trips' Hosts for their time in Goa.  They travel to India and around the world for 6 months of each year and are accustomed to the Indian culture and way of life.

 

One of the highlights of the winners trip is the visit to The Little Angels Orphanage - have a look at this video and meet some of the people that Rick & Gilly seek to support.
