Spirit of Soccer
Don't play with landmines PLAY FOOTBALL!
Enriching and Saving Lives through the Beautiful Game...
| Founded in 1996, Spirit of Soccer is a Non Profit Children's Charity dedicated to the administering of Mine RiskEducation (MRE) to youths and their communities in post conflict areas of the world. No child should loose his or her limb due to a land mine injury. Our initiative, using Football (Soccer) Clinics, to alert inhabitants about the dangers of living alongside the indiscriminately killing Explosive Remnants of War (ERW) that are polluting their neighborhoods has successfully reached over 80,000 children. Projects implemented include Bosnia and Herzogovina, Kosovo, Moldova, Cambodia and Iraq. |
