In November, we told you about Project Good (a joint venture between World of Good and eBay) - donating 40 of our Fair Trade soccer balls to Kenya, Africa.

The eco-certified Fair Trade soccer balls were sent to an organization founded by James Rose, the Better World Cup that we’ve mentioned previously.

Check out the note I received in the mail recently from a young soccer enthusiast who was excited to help Rose continue to give soccer balls to children in need.

He sent in a good chunk of cash that he had earned and saved as a donation. As a for-profit company (whose after-tax profits go to children’s charities), we can’t accept donations. But with the permission of John and his parents, we applied his money towards the soccer balls that went to Better World Cup for their new project in Cambodia.

Well done, John. I’m pleased to know students like you are out there making the world a better place right now.
