A Kick-Start for the HomelessPosted on May 4, 2009
Four years ago, Lawrence Cann, a former nationally ranked college soccer player, founded Street Soccer USA, an organization that empowers the homeless by giving them both a new perspective on the way they see themselves and a welcome break from daily problems. In this clip, a Street Soccer squad from New York faces off with a rival team of white-collar workers—and there’s a lot more at stake than just winning or losing. Check out The New York Times video on them here. For more about Street Soccer USA, visit the organization’s blog here.

Ah! THIS was worth reading and watching. It gives me some hope. We need something like this in so many places.
