LITTLE FEET NEEDS YOUR HELP!

Little Feet Foundation, a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization, is building a soccer field for the kids of Las Capucas, Honduras. In order to break ground in mid-April and complete the field by June 16, 2010, they need your help. If every Little Feet supporter contributed just $5 or $10, they would have enough to fund this field. Soccer Silicon Valley Community Foundation is pleased to announce that we will match Quakes fans' contributions to this worthwhile project to an aggregate of $1,000.

About Las Capucas, Honduras
Las Capucas, Honduras is a coffee growing community that sits at the base of the highest mountain peak in Honduras. The average household income is less than $500 USD per year. Most of the homes in the community are made of mud and brick and have tin roofs. Little Feet first stumbled upon this community in 2008, where they saw children making soccer balls out of coffee sacks.

About the Soccer Field Project
The coffee cooperative recently purchased a piece of land and cleared off the trees for the kids to play on. It is a dirt field that is plagued with rocks and boulders and extremely uneven. When it rains, the field completely gets flooded due to a lack of drainage. The field is also a little too short to be considered a regulation field. In February, a team of Little Feet Engineers surveyed the field owned by the cooperative. They have located all the equipment needed, and a total of 14 days will be needed to complete the main portion of the field, including increasing the size, filling and grading, and improving drainage. Six weeks will be needed to grow grass and complete the cosmetics of the field.
