Here is a brief update from one of our partners in Romania:
We are in the middle of preparation for a sport camp for 40 teens, soccer, basketball , volleyball training in the camp, held in July.
My work among elite and high profile player continues with 1to1 meetings, talks with players and few coaches, mentoring.
We are in a need for volleyball balls and Frisbees to be used in the sport camp.
Ball Project is thankful for our partners around the world working hard to help kids play.
One of our Romanian Ball Project partners sent us a quick update on their work:
I am continuing to serve as a sport mentor for few athletes and coaches and in the handball team.
I have new opportunities to partner with a group who are serving kids in a village. We all want to use balls to help children play there.
I am continuing to organize sport camps for teenagers and serving in a local team in the sport network; the next thing is planning a sport leadership training.

We are grateful for our partners & donors who continue to work to help kids play.
I am home from a great week of meetings with partners from around the world.
Lots of updates, lots of conversations, lots of Five Guys, lots of Starbucks. I am always amazed by the universality of coffee culture, even though I only drink tea. But as I always say, you can’t spell TEAM without TEA.
I left the time encouraged by the exciting projects our Ball Project partners are developing in Romania, South Africa, Kenya, Bangladesh, India, Niger & beyond.
Our key partners in Guatemala are working to take the photography & life skills program The Viewfinder Project into juvenile detention centers & old age homes.
One of our key partners in Nigeria is building relationships & new partnerships by lending out books like Jason Fried & David Heinemeier Hansson’s “Rework” & Todd Henry‘s “Die Empty.”
A key partner in Uganda is bringing solar power to homes, schools, health clinics & churches in remote villages that do not have electricity.
Key partners in Dominica & Jamaica are working with a bankrupt sport manufacturing company to buy high quality soccer balls at a steep discount to empower youth sports programs in the Caribbean.
I am also working on connecting some Caribbean partners together in Haiti later this year.
As usual, I am grateful for & inspired by our amazing partners working diligently & creatively to help children by helping children play.
