The mission of Ball Project is to help children play. For well over a decade Ball Project has been helping coaches & community leaders around the world buy sports equipment to positively impact their communities through coaching & mentoring young people.
Here is an update on Covid-19 in Angola, as well as an encouraging letter that one of our partners in Angola received from one of the young people that they had mentored & coached:
Considering the real situation of COVID-19, we have all sports activities stopped, I was only able to make a few visits to some children who needed encouragement. Taking advantage of this break on sports, I am taking the opportunity to produce cabbages and tomatoes for food after games for the post-COVID-19 season.
The best thing that happened in my entire life was the first time I received a letter and transcribed some excerpts below: “Mano (mean big brother) G, Good morning, good afternoon or good night … according to the time you read this message. Mano I’m AF, today I send this message to you my oldest brother Mano, Thank you very much and I praise God for your presence … now I´m 26 years old studying music, and always taking all your wisdom and teachings, to make us live the good and wise way in real life since childhood, otherwise I wouldn’t be who I am, let me say you are an angel on earth, without exaggeration , we know humans always have our faults (which is normal and makes human beings) I am a good man, a good citizen all through your family base and support. I love you and I carry you forever in my heart … hugs. AF
What a wonderful story of the impact that a coach can have on a young person.
Ball Project is thankful for our partners in Angola & around the world working hard to build their communities, coach & mentor young people & help children play.
Here is an encouraging update from one of our partners in Angola:
We work with football in 5 locations, the number of children has increased to 300+. We meet daily because of coaching for life with two team U13 and U15.
We started competition on provincial level, we had our first federation. The challenge is bigger the requirements are very high.
During their historic first game, the boys were very nervous on the field. Playing for the first time in a stadium was a new reality.
Yes! We need more balls and other equipment, like cleats, shin guards, soccer socks, jerseys and other equipment!
Ball Project is thankful for our partners around the world building teams & communities & working to help children play!
Here is a fun update from one of our partners in Angola & a wonderful picture of a young team of leaders!
I formed a group of coaches and with these we go to the needy communities where we teach sports skills in football and then we have a match. We also recently made a camp and that was a blessing.
There is no way to describe the joy of the children treading the grass of a stadium, wearing a complete equipment; it is simply wonderful.
Yes! It was a blessing for the children of Angola.
Ball Project is thankful for our partners working faithfully to build communities & help children play!
