Plans For Honduras Youth Soccer Project 2007
In the mountains of Intibuca, soccer is the Cup of Hope. We
at Soccer For Life have big plans for building a youth soccer program that makes
a difference in the lives of these mountain children.
In these Lenca Highlands, there is very little employment for
those who do not own land. Most work as 50 lempira a day work. 50
Lempiras is $2.65. I mean 2 dollars and 65 cents. And the cost of
living is not that much lower here. With these low cost job, these
campesinos and poor famlies somehow manage to send their children to school.
This year many graduates are coming out from the Colegios. But there are
no jobs. For one job with 2 positions, over 200 colegio graduates applied.
What is going to be the results? And this is only
one school in one small city in the mountains. Thousands all over the country
are graduating, after their families have sacrificed to make them professionals.
But there are no jobs.
Most of these youngsters who are members of the
Liga Menor have come to me seeking employment.
Soccer For Life Is Developing A Honduran Foundation, The
Foundation for Youth In Communities
Because of the crying need for employment among my soccer players
of the Liga Menor, Soccer for Life is working to create a Foundation to the
called . We want to create a nearsource IT center here for these youth to
provide employment. This foundation will be supported and financed as a
part of Soccer for Life. Those who will be employed will be soccer players
from the Liga Menor, groups who have been a part of our concursos and
communities in which we are developing soccer programs.
One of the requirements to be employed in the IT Center is that
they will be trained and be expected to become youth soccer coaches.
They will learn to give as well as receive. They will learn,
they will earn and they will give back to the world soccer community. They
will not be removed from their communities they will become an active
participant in community development through the soccer programs they will
develop. And the donations of soccer gear from YOU will determine the
success of this program
To Create This Youth Entrepreneurship Program As Part Of This
New Foundation, Soccer For Life is Soliciting Donations of Computers, Printers,
And Software.
This youth entrepreneurship program will use soccer players
because we know they have been used to hard work and have experience following
instruction. Players do not stop games here because it is raining. These
are the kinds of youth that can be successful in an IT center.
They will be expected as well to be volunteer coaches to the
community projects to work with the children to help them
gain the skills. It is not enough just to teach the skills, the coaches
must serve as role models and caring adults for these children who have no one
to care about what they do or how well they do it.
As a result our camps and clinics
will be open to girls and boys. That means we will need uniforms and clothes for
girls and boys alike. Women soccer is the fastest growing segment of the
game. The Honduran women national team has been dissolved due to the
shortfall in financial resources resulting from the hurricane. If a new generation of female soccer athletes
are to be developed in Honduras, it will be from programs like the Honduras
Youth Soccer Program. Girls want to play but there is no organized program
for either girls or boys in small communities like La Esperanza.
Dr. Carol Cross will be personally
involved in the Foundation just as she is in Soccer for Life and the Liga
Menor. She will attend the camps, work with the coaches and
volunteers. She will provide training in self esteem building, soccer
mastery methods and character building skills. She will introduce them to the "One Step At A Time" Soccer
Mastery system she is
developing. She will involve the local members of the community with which
she has long standing relationships.

Soccer for Life, Inc.,
is an Arizona not for profit organization dedicated to youth empowerment,
youth involvement and youth sports for
personal development. In support of this mission, Dr. Carol Cross,
Founder and International Director of Soccer for Life invites you to
participate in Soccer Action For A Green World, the environmental soccer
program. Soccer Action for a Green World creates confluence between
youth in developed countries including the USA, Canada, European countries,
Japan, Taiwan, South Korea, New Zealand, Australia, South Africa and youth
in developing countries. Confluence or moving together alongside is
one of the most pressing needs of the 21st century. Young people
growing up today are going decide if it is war or peace. They will
decide to create friendships with those from other cultures or to act like
enemies. In addition, they are going to decide if our world will be
green or brown, hot or normal. Through Soccer Action For A Green
World, our youth can build friendships, create new ideas, develop projects
to fight global warming and change the world into a better place.
It is our feeling that everyone is seeking
community, structure, meaning an a Superordinate Goal. We consider these the
requisite for a life lived for sharing and receiving alike, supporting and
being supporting, offering comfort and being comforted. We call our
"Personal Contribution To Life".
Soccer for Life is

to create the Soccer Action For A Green World Ecolodge for sponsors, donors

support you need to make through Personal Contribution to Life.
