Donation 102 Announcement – Portugal, September

See below for details of the presentation timing and whereabouts.

It seems like just yesterday that the 100th and 101st donations took place and we are very pleased to confirm details of YOUR 102nd consecutive donation since 2003.

‘Associação Nacional de Futebol de Rua’ is a non-governmental, non-profit organization, whose aim is to use Street Football to provide a range of social support policies to children/young adults and are funded almost exclusively by the public.

Your donation will be used to help run various social sports activities related to street football and will also include study support sessions for the children. They are also looking to fund a study room, new computers, new sports equipment and provide funds for sports camp expenses – all so they can help the children to break free from the social isolation of their vulnerable neighbourhood.

Their motto is – “WE ARE ALL ONE! I AM BECAUSE WE ARE!”

We really like the idea of using football as a way to help children, having previously donated to similar projects in other countries and we know the positive legacy this brings.
