"Playing soccer gives children time to feel good and experience joy, to bond with teammates, and to be healthy in unhealthy circumstances. The "beautiful game" builds self-esteem and teaches them to treat each other with respect."

You can join a special holiday gift giving campaign (in cooperation with Save the Children) and purchase a One World Futbol.

Play is what children need to do -- and keeping the spirit of play alive for children no matter where they are, no matter what their circumstances, is vital.

It seems like no matter how difficult the circumstances, people around the world still find a way to play. Play is a critical part of rebuilding lives, resolving conflict and keeping your sanity in the midst of chaos.

My colleagues and I at the One World Futbol Project are proud to be part of this exemplary volunteer effort. Join us in helping the citizens of Haiti by supporting these great organizations.

There have been so many incredible moments since we launched just six months ago.
