A Special Thank You to CAPaD & Faith Impact Alliance

We would like to extend our deepest appreciation to Christian Agency for Peace and Development (CAPaD) and Faith Impact Alliance for their significant role in making the National Schools Debate and Speech Championship 2026 — The Green Tournament a memorable success.

Tournaments become truly meaningful when young people are given the incentives, recognition, and platforms they need to perform at their best. From the accolades and medals to the roll-up banners secured for the championship, your support helped us create an environment where achievement could be celebrated and young people could feel valued.

These may seem like simple resources, but their impact goes far beyond the tournament. They will continue to serve as symbols of achievement, motivation, and inspiration for young debaters and public speakers.

To CAPaD and Faith Impact Alliance — thank you for believing in young people, investing in their potential, and helping us make the Green Tournament what it was. 💚

The Green Tournament grows because champions are supported.

A SPECIAL APPRECIATION TO T&M GRILLS RESTAURANT

A great tournament is not only about what happens on the debate floor. It is also about the experiences, hospitality, and memories created around it.

We want to give a special thank you to T&M Grills for their incredible support and contribution to the National Schools Debate & Speech Championship 2026 — The Green Tournament.

From the delicious food provided to our guests to the wonderful hospitality, T&M Grills helped make the Green Tournament an even more memorable experience.

And if you are wondering where to spend your day in Sherikat, T&M Grills is definitely a place worth checking out.

As our executives would put it:

“Just delicious 🤤” “Simply Delicious 🤤 “

Behind T&M Grills are two incredible gentlemen, Nicolas Mayol ( A recent member of the WSDC Team South Sudan 🇸🇸 at worlds) and Alier Jongroor, who chose to support a tournament they once experienced and continues to create opportunities for young South Sudanese.

This is what makes the Green Tournament special — our community coming together to build something bigger than ourselves.

Thank you, T&M Grills, for feeding the Green Tournament spirit — one delicious meal at a time. 🌿🤤

A SPECIAL APPRECIATION TO ACADEMIAPRO

The Green Tournament is built on the belief that young people can grow from participants into leaders, builders, and changemakers.

Today, we celebrate AcademiaPro for their incredible support of the National Schools Debate & Speech Championship 2026 — The Green Tournament.

Built and managed by our very own, AcademiaPro is a school management system designed to help schools across South Sudan transition from manual record-keeping to a modern digital management system.

And perhaps what makes this partnership even more special is the people behind it.

Biar Israel ( WSDC South Sudan 2026 Team Captain) . Achuk Johnson. Barach Deng ( JDA 2025 and EADC winner) .

These are not just supporters of the Green Tournament. They are people who passed through this tournament, were nurtured by it, and are now returning to build and support the next generation.

That is what makes us proud.

From debaters to entrepreneurs.
From participants to builders.
From being part of the journey to helping shape its future.

If you can trust us with your debate teams at the Green Tournament, you can trust a system created by our own to help manage your school.

Thank you, AcademiaPro, for believing in the Green Tournament and investing back into the community that helped shape you. 🌱

From Novice Champions to The Green Tournament Champions.

Team White House put in the kind of work that real champions do. Here is the Invisible Quote from Team White House at the GT Finals:

“From countless spars with their friends at Ntare High School, Mbarara 🇺🇬, to Mbale Secondary School 🇺🇬, and leveraging the knowledge and guidance of their numerous coaches — Barach Deng 🇿🇦, Nicolas 🇸🇸, and Mathiang 🇺🇬” — Bior and his team locked in.

They learned from their mistakes. They leveraged the resources around them. They kept improving, round after round, with one ultimate goal: to win this championship.

That is the spirit we seek to build in every participant at the Green Tournament:

Learn. Grow continuously. Stay focused. Stay alert. Keep pushing.

Shoutout to Bior Kuai, Nyanbol Adija, and Chol Paul — our new champions! Congratulations on an incredible achievement at The Green Tournament
And that, right there, is the mindset of a champion.
