We are working with several soccer programs in Haiti...we will also be sending some soccer balls to Liberia and are looking for programs in need in the US.
Here is a video we had made in Les Cayes:
How can you help?
First learn about our programs, then collect soccer equipment (new or used) or make a donation :)
Rochelin is a good friend from Les Cayes Haiti. He send pictures almost every Saturday Morning of the soccer practice there. Thank you Rochelin not only for coaching and helping so much with the soccer program, but also for your work with trees and agriculture in Haiti. As I have told you, you are truly a #rolemodelhero!
Here are some pictures:
But this post is not about Rochelin per se, it is about the children in the soccer program.
First the good news! It is awesome that they now have a soccer program--both male and female teams. This gives the children (now over 70 strong) something to hope for, something to do to stay off the streets, and some order in what can be a chaotic world. It teaches teamwork, exercise, and discipline. It is a start. It is a great start!
But too many of the players can not afford shoes. The program (Soccer for Peace) can can barely afford water for the players. Indeed they have had to shut down before for lack of funds for several years.
Only about 1/3 of the children in this program are currently in school. Working with HaitiScholarships we are trying to raise that number.
You can help. Donate money for their water. Donate used (or new!) soccer equipment (even sneakers and running shoes!) for their teams. Donate to HaitiScholarships for their schooling. Or just share this message. Maybe it will reach a soccer club, or a person who wants to sponsor a child, or pay for water for their practices.
We can do this. It is a small step to make Haiti (and the world a better place) but the longest journey begins with a step.
Donations can be made:
* Soccer (or school) equipment: 104B Swan Business Center St. Bonaventure NY 14778
* Monetary donations can be made viahttp://BonaResponds.org/
* Money for scholarships can be made via http://
Equipment will also be going to programs in Leogane, Gonaives, and elsewhere in Haiti.
