Recognition For the Children of WAKAMATSU School

Recognition For Nippon Ham Fighters Baseball Team

Thank you so much for your wonderful work in raising the funds for sending Mr. Sakai and his group to Intibuca. I know how many hours all of you put in to develop the project.  How much work went into collecting recyclable and making items to sell.  Then the hours preparing to sell them.  You are truly leaders in a world that need caring and sharing leaders.

I would like to invite all of you to become members of Soccer for Life, a non profit organization in the USA. We have as our mission statement enabling all the children of Honduras to play soccer.  As part of this we have a tree planting project that works with our soccer donation program.  Students collected new and used soccer gear and we plant trees here depending on the amount of donated goods.

Q. What is the Honduras Youth Soccer Project?

A. This is a program created and supported by Soccer for Life, Inc to enable the young people of Honduras to have the needed gear for playing soccer. Soccer for Life will serve as a collection nexus for collecting soccer gear in the USA. In addition, it will support the development of tournaments such as the Soccer Against Global Warming Tournament, training for coaches and players and support for soccer camps in Honduras. The Honduras Youth Soccer Project has at its ultimate goal the development of a Intibuca Youth Soccer Center as a residential soccer academy and complex. 

Q. Why Does the Soccer Gear Donation Project Focus on Planting Trees?

A. As we watch the Tsunami roll across the Indian Ocean, killing over 200,000 people we begin to wonder if Global Warming is setting in. Four hurricanes cross Florida in one year. The Blizzard of '05 with record snow. Droughts in the Far West. All this wild weather could be the beginning of a change in the Earth's climate equilibrium. Soccer Moms in Their SUVs are being blamed for Global Warming.  Soccer Moms have soccer kids who do care about the environment. Planting trees is our best ways to combat global warming at this time. Find out more about global warming on these webpages:

Nothing We Do Matters if Global Warming Kicks In. Find Out More About Halting Global Warming. Other pages include Global Warming, Before Global Warming, and During Global Warming.

Q. What is Global Warming and What Does It Have To Do With Soccer?

A. The soccer youth of today will be the leaders of tomorrow. They will inherit the world we are creating today. But they can do more than just passively wait to inherit a world changed by global warming. They can become leaders now by fighting global warming through planting trees. Soccer players add to Global Warming by the trips their parents take in their SUVs to soccer practice and soccer games. With 17,000,000 children playing organized soccer, that's a lot of automobiles trips, a lot of gasoline burned and a lot of gases emitted into the atmosphere. Every tree we plant offsets these emissions.

Q. Why Should We Plant Trees?

A. Tree planting is our number one tool for combating global warming at this time. And since the world weather system is all one system, planting trees in one place can offset global warming thousands of miles away. Here are some reasons trees are so vital:

bulletIn 50 years one tree recycles more than $37,000 worth of water, provides $31,000 worth of erosion control, $62,000 worth of air pollution control, and produces $37,000 worth of oxygen.
bulletTwo mature trees provide enough oxygen for a family of four.
bulletTrees help reduce the "greenhouse effect" by absorbing CO2.
bulletForest planting is one of the most cost-effective ways of reducing CO2. To remove 1 pound of CO2, planting tree costs less than 1 cent, developing more energy efficient appliances costs about 2 1/2 cents, and developing more fuel-efficient cars costs about 10 cents.
bulletBy cooling the air and ground around them, the shade from trees helps cool the Earth's temperature.
bulletTrees are good noise barriers, making a city and neighborhood quieter.
bulletTrees help prevent city flooding by catching raindrops and offsetting runoff caused by buildings and parking lots.
bulletHospital patients heal faster, require shorter stays and less painkillers if room windows face trees.
bulletA tree-line buffer between fields and streams helps remove farming pollutants before they reach the water.
bulletWell placed trees help cut energy costs and consumption by decreasing air conditioning costs 10-50% & reducing heating costs as much as 4-22%.
bulletTrees are the longest living and largest living organisms on Earth.
bulletPeople who plant trees become healthier, better looking, richer, and have more friends (well maybe that's stretching it a bit) - plant a tree and find out!
bulletIn deserts, leaves absorb moisture from the dew and frost of the cool nights and release it to cool the air during the warm days.
bulletTrees enhance the aesthetics of our environment. Their grandeur, tenacity, and beauty are probably the most enjoyable aspect of trees.
bulletTree bark and fruit have many medicinal properties, which are still being discovered.
bulletBirds and animals use trees for their homes and shelter and as a source of food.
bulletOne person in the USA causes about 30-40 tons of carbon dioxide to be emitted a year. One tree removes about 1 ton of CO2 per year. Planting 30 trees per person will remove each that person's carbon debt for the year.

Q. What Is A Cleat Drive?

A. A cleat drive is an organized program of collecting soccer gear for the children of Honduras. An individual or group organizes the collection of used soccer gear to be shipped to Honduras. All items collected will be shipped by Soccer for Life, Inc to the Liga Menor de Futbol Intibucana.  

Q. Can We Get Materials To Use In Setting Up A Cleat Drive?

A. What materials are useful in setting up a cleat drive?

bulletCollection flyers
bulletPress releases
bulletSoccer for Life Brochure
bulletMembership Cards
bulletCD of Photographs of Soccer Youth in Honduras
bulletLabels for collection boxes
bulletInstructions for placing cleat collection boxes

Soccer for Life will supply you with a Cleat Drive Collection Kit by email. In it we will include flyers, press release, brochures, membership cards, photographs on a CD of soccer youth playing in donated gear and as well instructions. Just email to sfl@satglobal.com

Q. What Happens To The Soccer Gear We Collect?

A. The gear you collect will be sorted into color sets and team sets. If we get 16 identical uniforms they will be offered to a team. But single uniform shirts, shorts, cleats, t shirts are all welcome. We will put together color sets of different uniforms for the young people. They will be happy to play in whatever soccer gear we are able to supply.  A vital component is raising the funds to ship the collected items to Honduras.

Q.  What is the Soccer Action For A Green World Program?

Soccer Action For A Green World Offers Many Opportunities To Play Soccer & Serve

This project is designed to bring together soccer players from many countries in order to utilize the love for soccer for sustainable development.   Soccer Action For A Green World (SAGW) offers the world soccer community an opportunity to participate in the SAGW tree planting activities in Honduras in a wide variety of ways.  Participants can become members of SAGW, collect and donate soccer gear,  provide funds for shipping soccer gear to Honduras, participate in tree planting tours, service a soccer coaching volunteers, shop in our OneSoccerCommunity store, connect your soccer group with SAGW, bring your team to play in SAGW tournaments, become a SAGW corporate partner, participate in the SAGW conference, join our Yahoo Group, or donate funds for building the Intibuca Youth Soccer Center, plant trees in your own community dedicate a tree or sponsor the SAGW conference.  Each of these opportunities enable you to join with the SAGW and experience community, structure, meaning and a superordinate goal.  We are building a true sustainable community here through soccer.

The soccer balls donated by the Hokkaido Football Club arrived in Honduras because your school raised the funds to send the Sakai group here.  For that reason I was very happy for their visit to Intibuca.  I hope that this is the beginning of a  wonderful friendship between the children of Intibuca and the children of your school.  I have built upon your ideas of friendship for the creation of the Japan Honduras Sports Friendship Society.  I would like to invite you to join with me in this project to develop student exchanges and cross cultural visits between Japan and Honduras, especially between Hokkaido, Sapporo and the people of Intibuca.

We held a concurso on Sunday and we were able to use the balls that came because of your good work as prizes for the children.  They loved getting these balls and were very happy.  I am hoping to set up a soccer donation program from Japan to Honduras.  I will communicate more about this next time.

It is our hope that you will continue to reach out to these wonderful children who are so in need. These indigenous children have a difficult future ahead of them. So that any help that can be given to them is wonderful.  Thank you so much.

Yours sincerely,

Dra. Carol Cross
