The Washington-based institution has released an official statement confirming their trip to Botswana.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Howard University Volleyball Programme is proud to announce its upcoming foreign tour to Botswana and Zimbabwe where the team will engage in a series of enriching experiences on and off the court,\u201d it announced via their website.<\/p>\n

Community initiatives<\/p>\n

The team will participate in the Universities International Invitational Tournament organised by the Botswana Volleyball Federation as reported.<\/p>\n

The American college volleyball team will lock horns with teams from Botswana, Namibia, Lesotho and Zambia. But the team is reported to be even more excited to participate in off-field tasks.<\/p>\n

Labelled the \u2018Transformative Foreign Tour,\u2019 the trip will include engaging in community initiatives with the team visiting schools and setting up volleyball camps to share their knowledge and experience with students.<\/p>\n

Positive difference<\/p>\n

College teams in the United States are permitted to go on a foreign tour once every four years.<\/p>\n

According to the head coach, Shaun Kupferberg, the team has a lot to benefit through empowering the community and realising that their influence runs beyond the court.<\/p>\n

\u201cOur focus extends beyond the volleyball court,\u201d he said. \u201cThis tour Is about using the platform of sport to make a positive difference in the lives of others.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe want our student-athletes to understand the importance of giving back and serving as leaders in other communities.\u201d<\/p>\n

Community-oriented<\/p>\n

The Director of Athletics at Howard University, Kery Davis, also spoke glowingly about the upcoming trip as it will offer the students an opportunity to become well-rounded and community-oriented individuals.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe tour is an invaluable opportunity for our student-athletes to expand their horizons,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

\u201cBy experiencing new cultures and engaging with communities abroad, they will develop into well rounded individuals who are equipped to become leaders in their respective career fields upon graduation.\u201d<\/p>\n
