Spirit of Football on Changemakers

February 15th, 2008 by

A little while ago, we entered The Ball into the Changemakers Sport for a Better World competition. The site is dedicated to “building the world’s first global online open source community that competes to surface the best social solutions, and then collaborates to refine, enrich, and implement those solutions.”

Please check out our entry and let us know what you think. Voting by the Changemakers community starts today so we’re keeping our fingers crossed…

[Update] Unfortunately, we didn’t make the short-list of finalists, but we wish all those who did the best of luck and hope that it provides a welcome boost to their projects.

Extreme football

A friend posted me this video which I think is a lot of fun even though, in the end, it’s trying to sell you a computer game. It’s at the other end of the scale to our films which use only real locations and no effects. I assume this one uses mostly special effects on top of the parkour-style acrobatics, but it looks great:

Donate a ball!

Donate a ball!

Pass the ball on! All footballs donated via Alive & Kicking's website before the 2010 World Cup went to Special Olympics programmes in sub-Saharan Africa. But you can still donate a ball to a good cause...
