A Ball Can Change the World

Do you have a roof over your head? Do you have food in your refrigerator, clothes to wear, and a place to sleep? Well, if you're reading this blog, you probably do. Did you know that only 25% of the people in the world are fortunate enough to have these luxuries?

There are an estimated 1 billion homeless people in the world today. The Homeless World Cup, an international soccer tournament, began as a way to give these people a chance to get back on their feet. It started in 2003 and 64 countries participated in last year's Brazil Cup. For information about Team USA, go to http://www.streetsoccerusa.org/

This year's Homeless World Cup will be held in Paris from August 21st-28th. That's probably when Yoshi and I will be traveling in Europe. I'm going to see if we can volunteer.

你在頭上有屋頂嗎？冰箱裏有食物嗎？你有衣服跟床嗎？如果你在看這個blog、我想你應該有吧。其實、世界上只有25%的人可以過這麼奢侈的生活。

世界上大概有1億個無家人。Homeless World Cup 是個為了無家人的國際足球賽。2003年開始舉辦、去年的巴西比賽64個國家參加了。台灣跟中國從來沒有參加過。

今年的比賽是從8月21日到28日、在巴黎舉行。那時候、我跟Yoshi應該在歐洲。我希望我們可以自願幫忙。
