The Ball Project

Check out www.ShoutMy.Biz/BallProject. This is just another way that we are trying to get the word out about Ball Project & trying to help children play.

ShoutMy.Biz is a simple easy way for small non-profits like Ball Project or The Viewfinder Project (www.theviewfinderproject.org) set up a free website.

Thanks to www.Formstack.com for a good free tool which can help children play.

Many thanks to our Ball Project partners & supporters for a successful 2011.

Ball Project’s mission is to help children play by getting balls & sports equipment to local community leaders around the world.

Ball Project was founded on one simple idea: If children learn to play together when they are young, they are less likely to fight each other as adults.
