Help children play by getting balls & sports equipment to community leaders around the world
“We can, to a certain extent, change the world; we can work for the oasis, the little cell of joy and peace in a harried world. We can throw our pebble in the pond and be confident that its ever widening circle will reach around the world. There is nothing we can do but love, and, dear God, please enlarge our hearts to love each other, to love our neighbor, to love our enemy as our friend.”
Dorothy Day

“People are often unreasonable and self-centered. Forgive them anyway.
If you are kind, people may accuse you of ulterior motives. Be kind anyway.
If you are honest, people may cheat you. Be honest anyway.
If you find happiness, people may be jealous. Be happy anyway.
The good you do today may be forgotten tomorrow. Do good anyway.
Give the world the best you have and it may never be enough. Give your best anyway.
For you see, in the end, it is between you and God.
It was never between you and them anyway.”
Mother Teresa

One of our goals is to invest in local coaches here in Senegal and over
the last few years we have built up a network of around 50 coaches. Our
trainings include practical coaching topics as well as things like first aid
and refereeing. In March we look forward to our 2nd referee training and
have a friend coming who co-ordinates referee training for the
Irish Football Association. We plan to run another 1st aid course later in
the year as well as trainings on tactics and leadership.
Ball Project is thankful for our partners working to build community, train coaches & help children play.
