Some more rules... and CHARITY

Fresh message from Danilo (goalkeeper of EMCDDA):

Few more rules:

Referees

We will have 3 professional, even if young, referees that will take of the respect of time and rules during the competition. The set of rules will be communicated to all after Easter.

Pitch

We will play is a grass field (grassy not sandy  (?)) with three pitches of equal size 60x35 and with equal 7aside goals. This is due to the great effort the St Julians School of carcavellos to which we are extremely grateful all. 

Charity

Danilo: "I have asked the project leader of a charity to explain us what they are doing and how we can help. He explained the following:


Project: '12 Dias Diferentes na Adroana' (12 different days for Adroana)


Target group: Adroana is a social housing project in Alcabideche, near Cascais where very low income families from different races and cultural backgrounds live. This project will target 50 children/teenagers aged 10 to 16 living in Adroana.


Aim: For 12 days in July, this project will promote summer activities among these children/teenagers to foster the values of respect, social support and racial and cultural diversity. They will be given the opportunity of visiting interesting sites and given the task of organising a multi-racial, multi-cultural community party in Adroana which will take place in the final day of the project.


Why should we help: This initiative is organised by a charity (CulturSol) entirely staffed by volunteers from social housing projects themselves. Other NGO's (such as the Red Cross) support this project with their own resources, but no funds are available and the Adroana families cannot afford to pay for their children to have this opportunity. Most of the parents in Adroana work long hours and their children are left unattended for most of the summer period.


How can we help: The project's cost  is estimated in €3000. CulturSol and the other collaborating NGOs are trying to raise funds. A contribution from our side would ensure that the project is feasible to implement and any extra funds would be used to organise activities for a longer period of time and to promote training for the young informal leaders of Adroana (mostly aged 16-17) as role models and community workers.


Dear colleagues I propose we tax ourselves (the players 10 € each). We also send an envelop around in our respective agencies to collect little the money basically to sponsor you in your sport endeavor. But the money collected will be donated towards this project. We are thinking to invite some of these children to play football in the synthetic pitch of the St. Julian compound the same day of our competition. We plan to give the cheque during the 'cheque and price ceremony' that will be on the 8th after dinner in the EMCDDA Headquarter. So let's see who will be the winning agency for generosity.


We have created an account number for the transfer. Identity the Agency in your transfer please. You can also give me directly cash even though the first option is preferable."
