We had a great time promoting the project at the Immortal Technique show in Cheshire and met some wonderful people doing big things! Major thanks to Mansoor Alam of Enough Advocacy for giving our booth a spot! The proceeds of the concert are going towards building an orphanage in Pakistan. Check them out at http://www.enoughadvocacy.org/

On May 12, 2010, The Little Eagles were honored to be named DoSomething.org's "Project of the Day"! DoSomething.org is a group dedicated to helping young adults improve their communities. Check them out at www.DoSomething.org!

The Little Eagles received a generous donation of soccer gear from the Passback Program sponsored by the US Soccer Foundation. We were given jerseys for all 8 teams as well as numerous pairs of cleats, shin guards, and balls. Many thanks to the Passback program, which you can learn more about at www.passback.org

After his show at the Infinity Music Hall in Norfolk, CT, I had a chance to chat with Mali pop star Habib Koite. I shared with him my ideas for the Little Eagles project, and he loved them. He told me about a clinic he does in Mali that teaches children the importance of washing their hands to prevent diseases. If all goes well, Habib will come to visit the Little Eagles in Mali during our season in January-March 2011 to give his clinic!

The Little Eagles secured their first sponsor! Eurosport is hooking us up with some sweet jerseys at low cost! Check out their soccer gear at www.soccer.com

We're making huge progress now, and we're still seeking sponsors and community partners to reach our goals.

The Little Eagles logo is finally completed!! Major thanks to Eric Calloway for all of his hard work creating this logo! He does some seriously great work!

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
