North American Youth Are Needed As Leaders In A World Of WantOur planet presently has over 6 billion people and the world populations continues to grow. In the USA and Canada, we are prosperous. People who come from other countries marvel at our Supermarkets. They have never seen so much food. They often live form hand to mouth. Here in Honduras they talk about eating tortillas ( made up of only corn meal and water) with salt because that is all they have. Their dream is to "Go mojado" to the States. That means crossing the Rio Grande and entering the USA illegally. That is why Soccer for Life is developing so many programs and projects in Honduras. We want to help Honduran develop their own small businesses through our Youth Entrepreneurship program so they stay in Honduras and build their lives in their own country. We feel that the key to enabling them to stay in their own country. We cannot solve every problem Honduras has. But we have found that enabling kids to play soccer, to join teams, keeps them off drugs. Our goals here are a bit more modest. Our work is confined to the Mountain states of Intibuca and Lempira. Our goals are: a) a donated soccer ball for every child through the Soccer Gear Donation Project b) a uniform for every child through the Soccer Gear Donation Project c) a pair of cleats for every child through the Soccer Gear Donation Project d) an organized team for every child through the Adopt a Team Project e) soccer programs for women and girls through the women coach program f) a youth entrepreneurship program based on the Recycled Athletic Shoes Donation Project g) obtaining land for soccer fields and a small youth stadium h) putting together the residential "Intibuca Youth Soccer Center" for homeless and abandoned youth i) bringing in volunteer coaches through the Intibuca Youth Soccer Volunteers This unique tournament is designed to raise funds for our Honduras Youth Soccer Project. It offers soccer players an opportunity to play in an international tournament, enjoy cross cultural activities, and gain leadership skills.

Intibuca is the home of the Lenca Indians, who walk miles up and down mountainsides that are 6000-7000 in altitude. They are in condition since they often walk to town (5 -10 miles) up and down these steep hills.
The Liga Menor is operated by a group of dedicated coaches. Two elite teams, called Atletico Lenca and Club Deportivo Esperanzano are being developed from the best players in the Liga. These two teams are determined to win this tournament and keep the trophy in Intibuca.
