Keepers4Kids is a charitable organization that collects used soccer equipment and donates it to kids around the world so they can have the basic equipment to play the sport. I and many players in the United States have used equipment they have outgrown from cleats to soccer balls to clothes to keeper gloves that are essential to play the game. Soccer is the most popular sport worldwide and used equipment can change the lives of other players who can not afford it. This all started when I used to donate my keeper gloves to players from Mexico and Venezuela. I am now on a mission to set up a simple process to try to supply equipment for kids in poverty around the world.
My charitable organization is based on two simple concepts.
"Kids help Kids"
By simply setting up drop boxes at schools and fields, the drop box can inform the kids of the need for used equipment and remind them to donate their equipment when they no longer need it.
"Simple makes sense"
The easier you make it to help others in the world, the better chance you have of being successful.
These two concepts will be marketed on all the drop boxes. This will help kids to understand the value and importance of helping others that are less fortunate than you and it doesn't take much to make the world a better place. If kids can learn this concept at an early age and pass it down to their kids or their siblings and friends, it could have an enormous impact on helping impoverished kids around the world. Additionally, the goal of Simple make sense can teach kids to think outside the box. There are so many little things you can do in this world that are easy and not time-consuming that can have profound impacts on the world. If you were to ask kids if they can come up with one simple idea that can make the world a better place to live, what would it be and can you implement it? If we can plant this seed in kids' heads around the world, imagine the impact it could potentially create.
