Introduction
David and I are floorball goalies with passion. We created the homepage between-the-posts.com to share our knowledge about floorball goaltending because it was not formalised so far.Unfortunately, not everybody has the possibility to play floorball in the absence of sport facilities or floorball equipment. To give these kids also the possibility to live the passion floorball, we came up with “Goalies with hearts”, a page where we support these kids.
I (Lars) came across an interview article about the floorball situation in Burkina Faso, one of the poorest countries on the world and Göran, who has the same passion like us for floorball. He brought the sport to Burkina Faso and supports the country with passion, knowledge and the ambition to organize floorball equipment.
We got in contact in Göran and after a few mails, David and I decided that we want to help him. So far, we already organized floorball equimpment. However, Görans biggest wish is to send the female national team to the Africa Cup 2019 to Kenia in Septemeber. This costs in total 12.000€ which we are not able to pay on our own.
That's why we need you.
As the Africa Cup is already in September, we need the money until latest August to organise flights, visas, hotels etc.
Here's a short explanation on why it's a good idea to support floorball for girls in Burkina Faso (written by Göran):
Floorball gives the girls an opportunity to get social training in an organized context and to gain self-confidence. By taking on responsibilities within the association (club) they also get knowledge of how an association is run (democracy, transparency, conflict management, accountability, team management etc). All this contributes to stengthen them for life after school.
1 Gender equality
Burkina Faso, as many African societies is dominated by men. Girls are not expected to succeed in school, make a career, get a good income etc as much as boys. Girls are given less opportunities to succeed their lives. In Ouagadougou, girls spend most of their time in school and in their homes. For the girls themselves and for the society it would be a gain - a win-win situation - if girls were given equal opportunities as boys and could contribute to development as much as boys.Floorball gives the girls an opportunity to get social training in an organized context and to gain self-confidence. By taking on responsibilities within the association (club) they also get knowledge of how an association is run (democracy, transparency, conflict management, accountability, team management etc).
