 You Are Invited To Share Your Resources With The Children Of Honduras

Looking For A New Way To Give?

Are you a charitable organization looking for a project that will capture the hearts and minds of your volunteers and constituency?  I know what you are doing with your food drives and feed the homeless programs. Chances are you make your support available to women's shelters and support many kinds of charitable outreach in your community.

The problem is that sometimes people get burned on the problems of abused women, homelessness and other problems in your community.  Sometimes it seems it really has no effect - that your charities are having very little impact on the problems you see around you.  And many times you don't want to get personally involved.  So often people don't get as deeply involved because they just don't see the results.  And it seems the people do not really appreciate what you. Often you can't even see where your resources are going.

How Would You Like To Support a Project Where Your Group Can Actually See The Results and Be Recognized As Part Of A Virtual Community Being Formed Around The Project?

I would like to invite you today to become involved in Project Athletic Shoes For Youth Empowerment

All Your Organization Has To Do IS Collect Pairs of Athletic Shoes/Soccer Cleats and Pay The Shipping Cost To Honduras. With This Gift, Your Group Build A  Youth Empowerment Small Tourism Project In Their Village. CLICK HERE And Take A Look At How Your pairs Of Shoes Will Change A Young Person's Life. 

Where Can You Find Pairs of Athletic Shoes?

There are many ways to collect your pairs of shoes.  Here are some ways

1.  Ask each member of your organization to collect athletic shoes from their closets, garages and basements.

2. Place a collection box in your organization meeting home

3.  Have a "Athletic Shoe Potluck" and have each person bring a pair of shoes along with the food

4.  Talk to other local organizations with thrift shops and ask them to donate a few pair

5.  Talk to your local shoe stores and ask them to donate a few pair

6.  Ask to put up a box in the local high school

7. Go to your local college and ask them if they have a recycling program and will they help by collecting at the college

8.  Ask your employer if you can collect athletic shoes there

9.  Talk to the mayor of your town and ask him for support

10.  See if you can put a public service announcement on local radio or television

11. Talk to your pastor

12. If you belong to organizations like Kiwanis or Lions Club see if they will help collect at their meetings

13.  Give out flyers wherever you go (We will be having a pdf file online soon that you can download and print)

14. Take off your athletic shoes and add them to the mix.

15.  Your own ideas....

2.   Promote The Soccer For Life Program In Your Community

There are members in your church, club or group that have soccer and sports gear in their closets, garages and basements. They don't know about our work in Honduras and how it is helping the poor children of Intibuca get what they need to play.  You are the key to sharing the Soccer For Life Mission with them.  Help us collect soccer gear and promote the Honduras Youth Soccer Project. You can stop the waste of used soccer gear in your community.  You can stimulate companies and groups to donate.  Help us Share The Soccer Gear Donation Project

You Have Made The Honduras Youth Soccer Project A Success

The Honduras Youth Soccer Project has been a huge success. Because you -OUR DONORS - shared your soccer gear we have reached out to many youth and many communities here in Honduras.  We have distributed hundreds of your gifts, including balls, many thousands of shirts and delivered uniforms and supplies to kids in the department of Intibuca.  The kids to the left are wearing donated uniforms, with donated cleats, donated shin guards and wearing donated medals.  They received a donated trophy. It was wonderful to see. YOUR DONATIONS OF SOCCER GEAR MADE THESE HAPPY CHILDREN PLAY AND WIN WITH PRIDE!

We Expect The Children To Do Something In Return For The Donations

While we are willing to provide poor communities, church groups, indigenous villages  with a complete set of uniforms consisting of 16  soccer shirts, 16 pairs of soccer shorts and 16 pair of soccer socks, we do want something in return. The kids in the States that collected these items worked hard. Some of them set up collection boxes, others went from door to door and other organized the materials, spending hours sorting them, washing them and getting them ready to come to Honduras. In return for these uniforms we ask the following from each group:

Setting Up the Intibuca Youth Soccer Center

Soccer For Life is planning to set up the Intibuca Youth Soccer Center for our teams we will be developing. Because of the fact that many of our Youth-At-Risk have not yet learned the social manners of those in mainstream youth leagues and soccer clubside, we feel that these youths should play among themselves until they gain better social skills.

We will be teaching soccer skills, social skills and character skills such as teamwork, dealing with anger and self control.
