Goal!





With all the recent interest in soccer because of the world cup, I thought that it would be good to share a miracle relating to soccer. I recently stumbled upon the website of a nonprofit organization called Charity Ball. "A small act of kindness is more powerful than the greatest intention," reads a quote on the header of the website. I thought that this was so true. Performing small acts of kindness, trivial as they may be in our eyes, may mean the world to someone else. Charity Ball is a great example of this.



Charity Ball began when a boy named Ethan took a trip to Mozambique and realized that the kids there had next to nothing. He gave them his soccer ball. Of course, the kids loved it, and once he got home he set out to give more than just one ball by forming Charity Ball. Charity Ball has now given thousands of soccer balls to underprivileged kids in Africa. Ethan's charity has been a miracle-maker for countless kids. It only goes to show you that miracles can come out of anything- even something as (seemingly) simple as a soccer ball.
