I can’t believe you don’t have 50 comments on this. It is amazing! I’m going to Kenya this summer, maybe I can take some of these with me.
Just found your blog recently and love it.

Whoa. I am telling my student from Burkina Faso about this. His son, still in school in Senegal is 14 and, is, like most African teen boys, soccer mad, and an excellent player. I am knocked sideways by this idea. It marries sports/planet friendly-energy/humanitarian goodwill…and just plain fun. Harvard Sistahs rock!!!
