Get yo popcorn!

Welcome, and thanks for taking a moment to learn about Grassroot Soccer, an organization that uses the power of soccer in the fight against HIV and AIDS. I've committed the next year of my life to working for this organization. This means in August, I'm putting some career plans on hold and moving to Africa.

This organization has had a significant impact on African youth in the past, and with the World Cup in South Africa next summer, Grassroot Soccer has a unique opportunity to make an even greater impact.

But enough from me. See if you can get the quiz question on the right side of the page, then sit back and enjoy this short video. If you're at work, put on some headphones. If you're at home, turn up the volume. Get yo popcorn, cuz there's gonna be a show!



If you would like to help support this cause, please don't hesitate to donate. You can do it right here on the blog. You just need a credit card. Click on the "donate" button above, and follow the directions. It's secure, fast, and easy, and a great way to help an effective, worthwhile cause. I need to raise $10000 this summer in order to make the trip!

This blog will provide information on fundraising activities for anyone interested. Once I'm in Africa, I'll keep updating all the way through WC 2010 next summer.

Just a reminder, they have lions in Africa:

  1. You make us proud, little brother. Have fun, play hard, learn much, reach out... but please don't get eaten by a lion.

  5. Victor Hugo said "To love is to see the face of God." I hope you love these kids enough and they love you enough so that maybe when you get back you can tell me if Mr. Hugo was right.
