This is true charity, I don’t know what Sting’s politics are but like Kevin Costner, they put their money where their mouth is.
Good idea he came up with—it’s nice that kids won’t have to worry about the fun going away because of a puncture. When I was a kid, my dad got tired of fixing punctures on my bike tires, so he bought me some “puncture proof” tires. Trouble is, they were not really tires at all—just hard plastic shells. Might as well have been riding on the rims! I think they lasted two days before I whined enough to get back to riding on air.
Ever heard of a NERF soccer ball? These things have been around for about 40 years.
Gooodeee!
Especially for barefoot Indian kids, they can play fooootbal on the broken glass fields surrounded by barbed wire!
“The couple’s goal is to distribute 1 million balls”
Start with the Republicans in Congress!
Neat story.
“I saw children desperate to play, living in a world where nothing makes sense and they’ve been traumatized by irrational violence...”
Violence caused by whom? The Amish?
Now watch — someone will try to come up with an indestructible vuvuzela....
Awesome indeed.
That’s the trick. Amid desease, starvation, and violence, let’s give the kids soccer balls! I feel so GOOD about myself!
But will anyone invent soccer that isn’t nil-nil boredom?
