Hi, I am Jack!

I am doing a 5th grade project called "Exhibition"and I chose to research how soccer/football connects people across cultures and helps social change and opportunity.

One big question I asked was "how has soccer/football helped communities affected by poverty"?

While doing this project, I found a small non profit charity in South Africa called "Young Bafana" that works to change the lives of children and young people from very poor backgrounds, and help there communities by providing soccer, education and nutrition.

I was very inspired by their mission and it touches my heart a lot, as I LOVE soccer and feel sad for all the children that don't have the same opportunities as me. I wish all children in the world could have opportunity for good health, safety, food, school and sports.

I would like to take action to help this charity, and have made a video to share more information and to ask for your kind help, by making a donation, small or big, to my fundraiser online. My mum and me will then send any money raised direct to the charity. Please enjoy my video.

I will be donating money made from my lemonade stands as well and want to thank you all for reading this and helping me make a difference.

Please see the Young Bafana website link for more info: https://youngbafana.com/en/
