The HOPE IS A GAME-CHANGER PROJECT will deliver unbreakable soccer balls to kids who, all too
often, see things horrible, broken and not survive the simplest of circumstances. The project started taking
form well before anyone knew where it would lead-which is to test the power of like-minded people working
together to turn inspiration into action.
Four years ago Bobby was in Rwanda offering help to the people there and taking photos of a child
soldier named Moise with his"soccer ball", which was a pile of rubbish tied together with a string. This "ball"
was the only thing Moise could call his own-no family, no home, no place to go. Forced to fight in the Congo
and having killed three people at the unbearably young age of seven, the boy's spirit was broken. And Bobby
knew, as he took one photo after the next, that he'd never forget him In fact, he returned the following year
to tell Moise he had stayed deep within his heart-but he was gone.
I recently helped Bobby launch his new book The Power of the Invisible Sun which features a photo of
Moise, his ball, and kids from wartorn areas around the world. All of his earnings go towards the HOPE IS
A GAME-CHANGER PROJECT for the kids he visited over the past decade. They caught the emotional
landscape from heartbreak to joy, but share the undeniable longing for recovery and hope.
Bobby and I share the unchangeable belief that delivering hope is really a game-changer, especially to a
child. We believe that each indestructible ball will come to represent a lasting symbol of hope. A light no matter
how small-The Power of the Invisible Sun.
This holiday season, I ask you to think about whether you are doing enough to help someone else in the
world. Or as Bobby likes to put it, consider "taking a concrete baby step", which added together, can create
transformational change. It's my great hope that the HOPE IS A GAME-CHANGER PROJECT will change
the lives of children the world over-one book, one ball at a time.
