This is a project for change, the power of football outside the pitch, a great opportunity to impact positively the lives of the kids from impoverished areas, kids that have little or no access to art education and quality recreational activities. Not every child will get the chance to kick the round leather ball but give them the chance to create one. The process of creating the RECYCLED COLLAGE BALLS is tending to be a springboard for socio-economic change. Let’s embrace it!
