Project Good – a joint venture between World of Good and eBay – is donating 40 Fair Trade soccer balls to Africa.
The eco-certified Fair Trade soccer balls are going to the Better World Cup, an organization founded by James Rose, who we’ve mentioned
previously. Suffice it to say, we believe the answer to the question, “Can a Fair Trade soccer ball change a child’s life?” is a resounding Yes!
Not only of the child who receives the ball, but also the child who was *not* forced to hand-stitch the ball. To learn more about our adult stitchers, check out this set of posts.
The campaign was put together with a brilliant World of Good staffer named Matt Levinthal. Well done, Matt!

Wouldn’t it be great if more people took this action? I applaud the group for their actions.
