We can only dream of this in Ottawa.



love.futbol employs an approach they call “Community-Driven Development,”, providing the means and support for communities to engage in and direct their own development projects. The organization supplies the raw materials and technical, project management knowledge to local citizens who build soccer fields for their community. The process itself strengthens the community and the resulting field serves a purpose similar to a city center or a common public space. Both boys and girls of all ages are engaged in play and competition and community members gather around the field to observe, converse and enjoy each other’s company. The community takes pride in the upkeep of the field and surrounding area. It’s easy to imagine the multiplier effect across a wider population and the local environment.

Some kids (perhaps most kids in the world) don't have *any* field, shoes, or even real balls to play.

(note: Xejuyu is in Guatemala)

Please note that I collect used uniforms to donate. If your son has a uniform (shorts, jerseys, socks, cleats) in very good condition and that are too small now, feel free to give it to me and it will be put to very good use by another child (no balls please)
