Actor Idris Elba accompanied 21 students from historically Black colleges on a trip to South Africa during the country’s historic hosting of the 2010 World Cup.

The undergrads, winners of the Coca Cola “Open Happiness Tour” video competition, spent their trip visiting historic sites and even taking in a World Cup game. They also worked with young students at a grade school in Soweto, where the students promised to help the children build a library.

“This was a life changing and moving experience for me. I’ve been to Africa a couple of times since my father was from Ghana and mother from Sierra Leone but this has to be the most moving and powerful trips I’ve ever had,” said Elba. “Watching the students grow in awareness and seeing how much we take for granted was a wakeup call and an honor for me to be a part of their experience. Thanks to Coca-Cola we now have twenty one new leaders who will make a difference in our world”

According to Coca Cola, the students won the trip after participating in a video competition that sought creative and inspirational answers to the question: How does the Coca-Cola RAIN program inspire you? The Coca-Cola RAIN “Water for Schools” initiative helps provide safe drinking water for schoolchildren in Africa and around the world.
