REDUCE INSURGENCE! TERRORISM! AND ORGANIZED CRIME! GIVE THE YOUTH SOCCER AND A VOCATION

Have you ever asked yourself a question; what really breeds terrorism, guerrilla activity, insurgence, and organized crime in Africa? Is it radicalism, extremism, tribalism? What is it?

I believe that at least 85% of of all the above atrocities are caused by a weapon of mass destruction called "POVERTY"

This is the trend my friends. Every year millions drop out of every grade level in Africa due to poverty. The youth are left to do one thing and that is loitering the city streets and villages looking for ways and means to survive. They cannot get jobs because the Powers that be are corrupt. If you are a relative of the corrupt policy makers, girl friend or, if you have big money to bribe them, then, you may be lucky. If you don't have the mentioned avenues, you have only one option left...crime. There is a saying that goes like this;

"Idle hands are the devil's tools,

and idle minds, his workshop"

Now, you tell me why a young person who is totally hopeless, confused, starving and perishing will not head to the bush if a war lord approaches him and offers him a gun and three square meals? Girls normally turn to the oldest profession; prostitution where they contact HIV contributing to increased statistics of aids related deaths.

What most westerners don't know is that most of these young people fighting in jungles, pirates on high seas, terrorists in cities, are not there because they believe in the political philosophy of their bosses. They are there because it is the only option left for them. The greatest gift you can give an African youth is a vocation. Get in touch with me and i will tell you how.

We have created soccer leagues for one community and we hear that crime has gone down.

Instead of getting wasted on drugs, breaking into people's houses, stealing other poor people's livestock, the young people are now a community of soccer players who are now so organized that they even have an administrative system. While they play together they are getting great counsel from our leaders and our goal is to put them into vocational training opportunities where they can learn auto mechanics, carpentry, sewing, farming and other viable vocations. We have already graduated a few in some of those areas.

DO YOU HAVE ANY SOCCER ACCESSORIES LIKE SHOES, JERSEYS, (EVERYTHING SOCCER NEW OR IN GOOD CONDITION? BRING THEM ON AND WE WILL SEND THEM. SAME FOR BASKET BALL.

WOULD YOU LIKE TO HELP BUILDING A STADIUM! OR, ARE YOU A SOCCER TEM WITH A BIG HEART AND YOU WANT YOUR TEAM TO COME TO UGANDA TO PLAY AND INTERACT WITH THE TEAMS OVER THERE? PLEASE COMMUNICATE.
