Volunteer in India with Children for ‘Goal of Life: Soccer with a Cause’
Goal of Life is the most eagerly awaited annual event and an effort to bring a better life to the children who live on Delhi's streets. Initiated in 2002, soccer was seen as a medium to enable underprivileged children living in urban slums all over Delhi to come and play together. This combines the development of their talent with a sense of unity, purpose and positive harmony in relationships. Volunteering with this project is a great opportunity to be a part of a worthy endeavour to bring dreams to reality for street children.
