  • Letter to School Officials
    Dear School Officials, Grassroot Soccer is fighting to save the lives of children in Africa, and we need the help of your students and community! Grassroot Soccer (GRS) is an international nonprofit (Federal Tax I.D. # 43-1957920) that uses the power of soccer to prevent the spread of AIDS and save lives among those with the highest rates of new infections—youth in Africa. GRS mobilizes the most vulnerable population of youth, ages 12 – 19, to break the cycle of AIDS by engaging local coaches who equip young people with the knowledge, skills and support they need to avoid HIV. Grassroot Soccer’s founders – Ethan Zohn (Winner, Survivor: Africa), Methembe Ndlovu (former Captain, Zimbabwe National Team), Kirk Friedrich and I, Dr. Tommy Clark – all have strong ties to Africa forged while playing professional soccer together in Zimbabwe. We all had close friends infected with HIV, and many others who died of AIDS. But we also understood how dominant soccer was in the culture. This inspired us to empower the most influential community role models, our soccer teammates, to teach children about HIV transmission and prevention and developing healthy life skills. In 2006, high school and college students began organizing Grassroot Soccer 3v3 Tournaments to benefit our organization. This became an incredible awareness and fundraising platform that has raised more than $350,000 for GRS. It has also given students the opportunity to learn more about the global HIV/AIDS epidemic and has empowered them to get personally involved. Please visit www.grassrootsoccer.org/host-a-tournament to learn more about these tournaments and our fight to eliminate HIV/AIDS in Africa through soccer.

  • Top 5 Most Traveled Celebrity Couples
    Top 5 Most Traveled Celebrity Couples By Nisha Ramirez Once you get past the daunting task of packing and airport security, traveling can be a great way to bond with your partner. Whether you decide to take a road trip through the 50 states or hop on a plane headed around the world, visiting a new place and learning a new culture can bring the two of you closer … and celebrities are no exception. So, take notes and get out your passport, because these star duos take traveling to the extreme: 1. Ethan Zohn and Jenna Morasca: Ethan Zohn won the hit reality TV show Survivor Africa and his girlfriend, Jenna Morasca, won Survivor Amazon. After being together for eight years, the adventure loving couple took traveling to new heights and joined the cast of The Amazing Race in September. Zohn and Morasca hoped the competition across the world would help them relieve stress following Zohn’s battle against Hodgkin’s disease. 2. Miranda Kerr and Orlando Bloom: Avid actor Bloom and his son, Flynn, always travel with hardworking mother, Kerr, for her modeling gigs. The Victoria’s Secret beauty has a job that sends her around the world, and she hates being away from her two leading men. Recently, the family traveled to London, after two days of travel, to be with each other while Kerr walked in Paris Fashion Week. When the couple isn’t traveling for work, they still find time to fly and visit Kerr’s family in Australia. In September, the two went shopping for a house in New Zealand.
