Mentoring in Southside San Antonio 10/27/09
Boy With a Ball is excited to have a new opportunity to participate in a program that will allow us to help these young people emerge out of a high-risk situation and to grow into leaders capable of reaching their dreams.
There's a Problem...
There are over 1.1 billion young people in the world right now. 1.6 million of them will die this year due to violence. 6,000 young people will contract the HIV virus today. 133 million are illiterate. 462 million will survive on $2 or less within the next 24 hours.
We live in an age where poverty and pain are leaving an indelible mark on young people across the world. While we need to fight for the environment we live in, sooner than later, we must also fight for its inhabitants. This will be no easy fight. It is a fight that will require people of integrity, good character, and a desire to serve others.
... And an answer
Boy With a Ball is a unique grassroots organization committed to building teams capable of countering the horrific attacks young people are facing across our world. Our goal is to help them emerge from a life on the streets, drugs and dysfunctional families, to becoming leaders capable of helping others.
