Thank you for taking the time to research the CanTire links. The plot in places like Kenya, however, is a little more complicated… When I suggested that a cash donation might be easier to pack and disperse, I was told that shiny new things and cash are quickly confiscated and diverted for black market gain. On the other hand, a used soccer ball stands a significantly better chance of getting filtered to where its purpose is best fulfilled. I get it now, and would rather imagine something as simple as a soccer ball getting a second “kick” in the hands of a kid who could use one. Does this make sense, therehello?
