A wonderful mini-documentary made about the Peres Center for Peace by A World of Football. This is how they described the film;

In a very sensitive political context, the Peres Center for Peace Football School encourages reconciliation between Palestinian and Israeli children from disadvantaged communities through a program of sport training, peace education and social activities. This program imparts the values of peace and understanding, encourages acceptance of cultural differences and breaks down stereotypes!

I couldn’t agree more. That is what we are going all out for. That is why we are doing this. Inspiring stuff.

We are pleased to announce the first of hopefully the many causes we will be supporting.

The Maccabim Association is a non-profit organization dedicated to improving social and educational opportunities for children in peripheral and downtrodden areas of Israel. Their organization uses soccer to reach out to over 4,500 disadvantaged children, providing them with meaningful recreational activities while helping them integrate into society. In all of their programs, soccer serves as an educational tool to help participants gain important skills and life values.
