Vision
The main purposes of the Soccer For Gaza Tournament are:
-
Bringing people together: I want to bring people of different cultures, ages and genders in order to spread and support diversity.
-
Spreading awareness about the realities of life for kids in Gaza right now: people of all ages need to know the realities, this is not the time for parents to let their kids ignore all the bad (and good) things happening all over the world.
-
Raising money to support kids in Gaza who, like every kid around the world, have the right to play and laugh and have fun.
