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....
