In 2009 Eurosport, in partnership with the US Soccer Foundation, commissioned Mothers for All to make 900 GOAL bracelets out of old Eurosport catalogues for distribution at regional soccer tournaments around the US.  The Soccer Foundation and Eurosport, a leading grass roots soccer company, sponsor many community upliftment projects both within the US and around the world. The Mothers for All GOAL bracelet project has been so successful that another 1,300 bracelets have been ordered and more Eurosport catalogues are now on their way to Botswana to be recycled by our mothers into beautiful paper bead bracelets.

In an amazing coincidence connected with these GOAL bracelets, Mary McGee, the US Peace Corps volunteer assigned to Mothers For All in Selebi-Phikwe earlier this year, recently received a call from her daughter, Barbara, in Boise, Idaho telling her that she had been given a GOAL bracelet for helping out at a soccer tournament in Albuquerque, New Mexico in which Mary’s grandson had been participating.  Barbara’s bracelet had been made by Mma Kgosi in Bobonong, one of our regional groups in Botwana. Below is a picture of Barbara with her GOAL bracelet and Mary meeting Mma Kgosi and Flora, the newest member of the Bobonong group.  Two continents – one bracelet, one goal!
