Here is a documentary (about 50 minutes long) about the problem of sports betting that is rampant in Uganda. Sports betting comes up in all of my TLT groups as pastors try to think about how to help youth find jobs and how to help youth overcome the addiction of sports betting. It's really a kind of epidemic in the country which is making poor people even poorer and sometimes dividing families. Pray for church leaders as they try to confront this issue and pastorally care for their youth.
The documentary also shows some really cool views of Kampala, so you can get a sense of what things really look like in Uganda in the big cities.
It's so sad that the young people of Uganda are being used by both the companies and their government. I hope the church will work hard to educate the people.
