Tip of the Hat: Grassroot Soccer United

One Tribe Creative would like to give a big congratulations to Ethan Zohn, international-soccer player turned winner of Survivor: Africa, who finished his 500 mile trek from Boston, Mass. to Washington D.C. while dribbling a soccer ball to raise awareness for his non-profit organization, Grassroot Soccer. Have a look:

In 2002 Grassroot Soccer was created after realizing the connections that soccer creates between people. Based on an interactive soccer-themed HIV prevention curriculum, Grassroot Soccer hosts 8-week camps in South Africa, Zimbabwe and Zambia that provide children aged 10 – 18 with the knowledge, life-skills and support to live HIV-free. 

Grassroots Soccer is striving to enlist 1.25 million African youths into the program by 2010.  To date, approximately 3,000 students have successfully completed the program.

One Tribe Creative and Grassroot Soccer have teamed up for a special venture that will begin in January. More on that later....

Sprig Toys Getting the Holiday Nudge

One Tribe Creative client and Fort Collins-based toy company Sprig Toys was featured on The Today Show for their environmentally responsible all-terrain toy vehicles.  These road-rides are not only comprised of recycled wood and recovered plastic, but also use kid's kinetic energy to power the bells and whistles.  Have a look:

Also, Laura M., editor of BabyBuyProducts.com guided me to a very informative podcast with Sprig Toys co-founder Justin Discoe on his progression from matchbox car maker to creating a line of toys that are socially and environmentally responsible.

Everyone here at One Tribe Creative have got their Sprig Eco-Trucks for the little ones and they love em'!
