Planning for 2011 Summer Expo: We need Soccer Equipment!

We have started planning for next summer! While things move forward on the ground in Cameroon, we are busy here in the US looking forward for the future of CFDP. We have budgeted for two months of activities in Summer 2011 to include organization-building, management and leadership training, workshops for existing and new leaders, and another round of summer holiday soccer camps for youth. We are excited to build upon our fantastic start in 2010.

We need your help! We are interested in collecting TEAM SETS OF USED SOCCER JERSEYS for the 2011 Summer Expo. The jerseys are a vital incentive and reward for communities who are implementing CFDP sessions. They motivate the individual players and instill confidence in them as members of their team.

Additionally, we are looking for new or gently used:

• Soccer Balls
  
• Soccer Shoes


• Shin guards


• Socks


• Professional or Local Club Jerseys


• Goalkeeper jersey and gloves
  

We have some great ideas to make the most of this equipment…more details to come on how we plan to use this!

In 2010, we carried a few suitcases stuffed with equipment...This year we want to fill up an entire shipping container!
