Maty's back on the Web

It’s been a really long time since my last post. It’s been a really hectic and exciting year here at Make Goals Not War. Where do I even begin?

After I returned from Germany and having received such strong support from thousands of people, I knew I had to try even harder to make our dream of resolving international conflicts on the soccer field. One person dies every minute from violence. We must all try to do whatever we can do to stop all the unnecessary death and suffering.

I have continued to speak with world leaders and convince them to double and even triple their efforts to ensure we have a more peaceful world. But I know I can’t do this alone without your and others help.

In response to all the positive support I got in Germany and from around the world since, the Make Goals Not War team decided to establish Make Goals Not War as a non-profit organization. This will give us a formal structure in which to do our work in advocating for a better and more peaceful future with organizations such as the United Nations and FIFA. We also want to take advantage of the opportunities on the Web to spread our message and use it as a platform for peace. We’re working one several projects (link here for more information).

After a year of very hard work the Team has finished the Make Goals Not War documentary film (link here for more info). We’re planning on making the documentary as accessible as possible and we’ll let you know one we figure out how to broadcast it to the world.

So please stay tuned for more updates in the coming weeks, visit our new and improved Web site and if you support the idea of Make Goals Not War, please sign our petition which is available on the web (link here).
