Education
Pitch
Watching soccer in Brazil is a tradition for the citizens. As you can
see, soccer is the most famous sport in Brazil. Pele, arguably the
greatest soccer player of all time, led Brazil to three champion ships
and is the top scorer of all time in the sport. He is a great role model
for kids who want to be like him and play soccer. That is why the goal
for this project is to take a couple dozen volunteers to Rio De Janeiro
to teach the kids their how to play soccer and one day make them become a
better athlete. This project will allow kids of all ages to participate
in a fun and safe in a controlled environment. This project will take
place in Rio De Janeiro that has a population of over 6.3 million
people. Rio De Janeiro also known as "Rio" is the second largest city in
Brazil. This project will consist of 35 volunteers traveling to Rio to
help build fields to play soccer as well as teaching them how to play
the sport. The volunteers will be staying in a safe location with for
and drinks for the 3 months that they will be there. There is going to
be an inspector that will be coming by twice a month for 3 months to
ensure that everything is going as planned and that the kids are
learning to play soccer. This project means a lot to me because it makes
me feel good knowing that I can help children that don't have the same
privileges that we do by teaching them how to play soccer and to have
fun while playing in a safe environment.
Critical Need
The critical need is to get the children who play soccer in the middle
of the streets so that they are out of danger. This project will allow
kids of all ages to come and play and learn more about the sport by
having a pro athlete to teach them some of the stuff that he has learned
throughout his career and teach them to never give up on their dream.
Brazil is the largest country in both South America and the Latin
American region. It is the world's fifth largest country, both by
geographical area and by population. Some of the young kids in Brazil
don't get the privilege to play in safe and controlled environments, so
that's why we would go there to help bring the kids a better place to
have fun and play while being safe.
Impact
When the project is going on in Rio, there will be visitors travelling
to Brazil who will notice that there are kids who are being helped and
they might spread the word that there are people out there who actually
care about the life of the others. This will allow us to travel to
different countries to help teach kids different sports.
Feasibility
The project will be starting in early June 2014 and will end late August
2014. I have contacted the Forzani Group Foundation and I have asked
them if they can provide financial support for my project. There will be
a professional soccer player coming to the project who plays for the
Brazilian team and said that he will be glad to donate his time and
money to help these children in Rio. The starting price of the project
will cost $75,000 for ensuring there will be a safe location with food
and drinks for all of the volunteers.
30x soccer balls = $900
4x soccer nets = $1,200
80x uniforms (shirts, shorts, cleats) = $9,200
1x turf soccer field
base preparation = $320,000
materials = $380,000
maintenance = $ 5,000 x 10 years = $50,000
total project = $761,300
Last Points
This project needs 35 volunteers ranging in ages from 16 - 21. There is a
safe environment for the volunteers to stay in with food and drinks.
Children in Brazil play soccer in the middle of the streets and you can
see that the kids portray skills for the professionals that they watch
on the television.
