Welcome back,

Although the amount of interesting pictures and breathtaking stories of Salone everyday-life has diminished after leaving Sierra Leone, Play31 is certainly still very alive and kicking the peace football!

Here are some of the events that have occurred since the last entry: We have been in touch with a Dutch company that has chosen Play31 as one of eleven charities they want to sponsor; contacted some Danish apparel companies and football clubs who may be interested in cooperating; the Facebook group keeps growing (remember to invite all your friends); some people have even mentioned that they want to see the story of Play31 as a documentary movie. Just yesterday, I received a very touching email from a girl who told me that her family's birthday- and xmas presents this year will consist of donations to Play31. In short, it has been truly amazing to follow the continued interest and enthusiasm for Play31!

For those of you who are currently in Copenhagen, I want to use this entry to invite you to a fundraiser party at Din Nye Ven in Skt. Pedersstraede on July 26th, starting at 5pm. There will be a modest cover and all the Kroners collected will go directly to Play31's work.

I will continue to keep those who are interested posted on news on this site (until the regular Play31 site will be up and running again). Remember that you can always contact the Play31 team at play31@play31.org if you have any comments or questions or if you want to know how to facilitate a $1,000,000 donation! We greatly appreciate the enthusiasm for this project and we thank you for stopping by this blog!
