World Cup

Of the six teams from Africa who entered world cup play, only Ghana is going through to the second round. Naturaly I was cheering for the U.S. but now I will be rooting for Ghana. I want to share a quote that I read after the Ghana victory; " “Today, little boys all over Africa are carrying their soccer balls and dreaming big dreams.” It would be great if this were true. I am sure little boys are dreaming big dreams, but most are not carrying their soccer balls.

I have been to Africa 8 times and have been around thousands of children. I have yet to see a child who owned their own soccer ball. We have distributed hundreds of soccer balls to children at schools, clinics, and churches. We take these simple things for granted, but for a child in most African countries, a soccer ball is an indescribale gift.

We will continue to bring soccer balls to Africa. Please let me know if you are interested in helping in any way.
