BUILDING A CULTURE OF PEACE - THROUGH FAIR TRADING. WHAT'S NEW!! It is hard to believe that 2012 will be our 9th year of operation. In that time we have sold over 26 000 Fair Trade Certified balls and we have seen a big increase in people and organizations buying our soccer balls to take or send to projects in poorer and war affected countries. We provide our soccer balls at our cost, for use in schools and orphanages in over 36 countries. The profits from our sales fund peace building and youth programs especially in Sierra Leone and for the next three years in the slums of Nairobi, where we are helping the Kibera YMCA complete their Primary School. You can donate to the KiberaKids school project through the web site of the National Capital Region YMCA-YWCA www.ymcaywca.ca . Just notify Cheryl at the Y that you wish your donation to be credited to the Kibera school. For more information visit www.kenyaymca.com Since we are a service club of the YMCA, we operate with volunteer help and we are dependent on a large number of helpers across Canada. If you would like to sell our sports balls in your community, please contact us for details. In 2008, we phased out all balls with covers made of PVC, polyvinyl chloride, because the chlorine in it is toxic to the environment. The replacement balls have a covering of polyurethane, longer lasting and safer when disposed of. However you should not need to throw away good used balls. Send them overseas for kids who may never have had a real soccer ball to play with. Support our "Let the Children Play" program to supply soccer balls and other equipment to children in poor and war affected countries. Find out how you can participate and where the balls go. Ask us for the new wholesale price list if you are a soccer league, school or Fair Trader interested in selling Fair Trade Certified sports balls.
