Thank you from Chile!
We are so blessed to receive help from The Ball Project. Our football program reaches out to the children living in the poorer neighborhoods of Santiago. There is not a lot of green space on this side of town and playing on any field is a financial barrier that the children cannot overcome. Our kids play primarily on the cement futsal courts around town and keeping a quality ball in play is not easy so having a supply of balls is essential to the work.
Through our work at Ambassadors Football International and your kind support, our kids can play!
Our futsal programs help our leaders and coaches to develop relationships with the kids, and in conjunction with the local churches we partner with, begin to mentor and encourage these children. Many of the children, through the futsal programs are now attending church and or our schools where they are learning how to live a life filled with genuine HOPE.
Thank you so much for coming along side of us for so many years. You’re making a difference in Chile!
Ball Project is thankful for our partners like Ambassadors Football in Chile & around the world working faithfully to help children play.
Here is an encouraging update from one of our Ambassadors Football partners in Chile:
Ambassadors Football Chile works out of Iglegia Oriente in Maipu, Santiago, Chile. We have a football club that includes an elite team (16-30+) as well as two children’s programs that are part of our local school. We also support 2 children’s teams/programs in a community close to ours called La Farfana.
Our teams meet year round and play in community tournaments as well as Chile based tournaments.
Our elite team has also participated in soccer outreach into the adult and youth prisons in Chile.
We primarily play futsal, on cement, and it takes a heavy toll on our equipment. The futsal balls in particular are much more expensive than a normal soccer ball so this blessing of support for equipment is HUGE! Thank you so much for your support.
Ball Project is thankful for our partners around the world working in the local prisons & in their local communities to help children play!
