One World Futbol Pretzel Sales*
The Play Special Interest Group held two fundraisers for the One World Play Project which donates indestructable futbols (soccer balls) by means of a Project Called One World Futbol. These futbols are donated to children from all over the world who do not have the opportunity to play.
"Play is in our DNA—a need as important as food, medicine and shelter. It’s an intrinsic part of our lives, regardless of geography or culture, and through play we become stronger individuals, build better communities and create a more positive future."
WCU SPSEA students sold soft pretzels to raise funds for One World Futbols.
