Day 2 of the Tournament

On New Years Day we continued the tournament. Saying it was a success would be a great understatement.

Off to Markala

In Markala i met a few more Malians and was bestowed with my Malian name - Seydou

Stade

Several of us, including Yacouba's sons, and some players from the winning teams from the New Years Tournament attended a professional football match. For many of them, it was the first match that they had been to.

Making Progress

Hey All!

I hope 2010 is bringing everyone much success and happiness! I know it's been a while since you've heard from the Little Eagles, so I thought I'd shoot you a quick update!

Everything is in order for the inaugural season of the Little Eagles Football League to happen, and if all goes well, I will be in Mali in 9 short months to witness our kick-off tournament! The Little Eagles t-shirt design is finally finished, and I'm currently in the process of finding a sponsor to get them printed. We are also going through the loads and loads of African Sky photos and videos in their archive to make a short video about the Little Eagles.

What we need from you:

-KEEP INVITING YOUR FRIENDS TO THE FACEBOOK FAN PAGE AND CAUSE PAGE (This is extremely important when approaching potential sponsors, and I'm overjoyed with the positive response we've had so far from all of you!)

-Help organizing campus fundraisers. I'm looking to hold fundraisers at college campuses in the area in the form of information sessions or soccer tournaments. I would absolutely LOVE any help in either of these areas. I know UCONN hosts a human rights awareness week every year, and even just having a small booth for an event like this would be perfect. If you know of, or are in, any student groups that would be interested, please please please send me their info.

-Potential sponsors. If you know of any organizations that might be interested in donating to the Little Eagles, or could benefit from partnering with us, I would love to hear about them.

-Your ideas. If you have any other ideas, don't hesitate to contact me. I'm open to all suggestions that might benefit this project, and I'd greatly appreciate your input.


Once again, I cannot thank you all enough for the overwhelming support I've had on this project - it deeply touches me. I would never be able to undertake such a project without your support!

Peace, Love, & Football
-Robbie
