| Baseball Gear to Peru - serving others in need |
We are improving the lives of children in Peru through youth sportsHave you ever wondered if you could do some good with the old sports gear your child has grown out of or the gear from a sport your child has lost interest in? Children all over the US and the world are in need of sporting goods gear. While most of us have the means to buy a new pair of cleats, tennis racket, baseball glove, a new football or soccer ball. An equal number of children are playing with very poor quality gear or no gear at all. In many parts of the country and the world youth sports is a luxury, not a form of recreation. Lack of funding has driven school based sports programs into the private sector and many children miss out on opportunities because they can't afford to participate in these activities.
At The Sports Family Club we are doing things to improve the situation! We have collected used baseball gear from local little leagues, friends and schools. We are shipping this gear to small, very poor village in Peru called La Libertad. Here is the information from Helen, our contact in Peru - “We work in La Libertad region of Përu in the barrio of Milagro which is part of the city of The Sports Family Club is honored to be able to enrich the lives of these children by simply taking the effort to make it happen. It is not easy, nor is it cheap. Shipping boxes of helmets, gloves, balls, bats, cleats, bags and catchers gear takes money and a cooperative effort from many people. We are fortunate to have people who have contributed and who believe in helping others any way they can. Please help us make these children in Peru happy by enriching their lives through the game of baseball by making a small donation here. Any amount will help. If you are in a corporation that would be interested in helping with this effort, we would love to have you as a partner. Please contact us with any questions or comments.
