Kick it Forward – Romania (and now the Philippines and Palau, too)

Can you give $20 to purchase a soccer ball and pump for a community in Romania, the Philippines, or Palau?

In the summer of 2007, ReallyGive community members donated 24 soccer balls and 15 pumps to benefit rural villages in Guatemala. In 2008, we donated two volleyballs, a soccer ball, and a pump to a remote island community in the Kuna Yala region of Panama in Central America. Watch a video about the Guatemala event or read the full post. Kick it Forward has been such a hit, we’re doing it again this year and need your help.

One Summer, Three Countries

Kick it Forward 2009
On August 8, a group of Unitarian high school students from Seattle, WA and adult chaperones will be make a non-proselytizing trip to the Transylvania region of Romania to visit and perform service work. The teens have agreed to deliver sports equipment gifts donated by ReallyGive. Can you donate $20 to help purchase a soccer ball and pump? Donations are 100% tax-deductible and go directly to purchasing gifts. Later in August, ReallyGive co-founder Katrina Hoffman will be traveling to Palau via the Philippines and will have opportunities to donate sports equipment in both countries–so give now to help build goodwill and a sense of community and athleticism among youth around the world!
