Dear Friends,

I had the chance to design and build a Community Center in Cape Town, South Africa for a disenfranchised community. The main space of the Community Center is an Indoor Soccer pitch, and we appreciate the opportunity given to the kids to play and express themselves, rather than hanging in the streets and joining gangs.

The Ubuntu organization has been organizing soccer classes, as well as providing homework tutorial and food for the young players registered in the program. It has been an enormous success for the first year of operation. Unfortunately, the funding is running out, and our initial sponsors are pledging their money to some new programs.

The soccer coaches need to be paid and providing some food and soccer equipment is essential to keep the program running and the kids running inside the pitch rather than in the streets. Since you all love soccer/football, I am asking you to sponsor this Ubuntu program. If all the friends who are playing with me pitch in a few dollars, we can make a real difference for hundreds of kids in Khayelitsha, one of the largest. poorest and most violent ghetto of this plant. Your help in offering kids the opportunity to play the beautiful game is highly appreciated.

Thank you.
