This is a short but sweet update from one of our Ambassadors Football partners in Bolivia:
Our team started to lead football training for kids from an organization that works with prostitutes and their children. We train the children once a week in football. The kids and teens are from 7 to 16 years old. We divide them in 2 groups. From 7 to 11 years old and from 12 to 16 years old.
We put on soccer training for young people in Reintegration Centers for women and men. Young people who are under 18 years old and cannot go to prison because of their age. And so we are organizing football programs for the prison for young people from 18 to 25 years old.
We are looking for permission to go to the orphanages to train the kids and teens in football.
Ball Project is thankful for & humbled by our partners around the world working in their communities with people from different & difficult backgrounds to help children play!
This is an encouraging update from one of our partners in Mexico:
Ambassadors Football Mexico focuses our programs in our three pillars:
Football • Faith • Future
We run a football club where we develop players to help them get college scholarships either in Mexico or in the US. In the club we also have 7 boys and 3 girls from an orphanage sponsored. We have about 100 players boys and girls in our club program that trains 4 times a week.
We run 3 community programs in the state of Puebla associated with local groups in their communities in order to reach their communities. We want to see community football outreaches in all of Mexico working along side local community organizations and churches. We have about 100 kids in the 3 different community football programs, whom meet once a week.
We are very blessed to partner with the Ball Project!

Here is an encouraging update from one of our partners in Ukraine:
Last Bell Ministries works with orphanage graduates in Zhytomyr, Ukraine. Most recently, the Ball Project helped us install Foosball tables and purchase other supplies for soccer and games.
One orphanage graduate is studying to combine youth leadership development and soccer. We helped her with balls and other supplies for a soccer group she coaches. Her caption for the photo: “This is how we LOST four goals!” She is helping kids like herself – including orphans – learn how to play, including the daydreaming part!
What a fantastic picture!
