2. Lets move on to the organization that takes place in Zambia. Grassroot soccer is a free non profit organization, they’ve were established in 2005 and still runs today. The man behind this is Tommy Clark the CEO. GRS is held in many different countries but is mainly focused on Cape Town, South Africa. GRS helps interact with the kids by playing a sport they all love called Soccer! Also during this organization they learn a ton. They have all together 150 coaches and teachers! As a result over the past few years GRS has 23, 165 graduates.

3. The main goal trying to reach across the world starting in Africa is the fight against HIV and AIDS. The organization in Africa like GRS receive donations and use them to buy the supplies needed to save lives.

4. GRS has impacted so many other countries that they are now located in 9 different countries now. In each country they have different contributors and companies giving in for the help of HIV and AIDS but I can assure you that all the donations go for the best fit need in help of the diseases.

5. GRS in zambia is different from the other GRS orginizartions in africa beause it’s ;ocated just north of the headquarters. Therefore they get there resources and needs faster.

End: As a result GRS is growing rapidly and you can donate up to 1000 dollars in the fight of HIV and AIDS, and thats the end. Thanks for listening. ||  ||   || [|[[http://geodrinkstudents.wikispaces.com/file/view/Photo_3.jpg|Photo_3.jpg]]]  media type="youtube" key="13bkFUdi4M8" height="344" width="425"

GRASSROOT SOCCER IN ZAMBIA
Grassroot Soccer was established in 2005. GRS is a free non profit organization used to educate and teach many Zambians and other people in other countries in Africa. This organization Isn’t set on just Zambia, but also 9 other countries in South Africa. They have many partnerships with other organizations around Zambia. Some of these organizations are Zambia Scouts, Youth Center, Sport in Action, and BSA (break through sports academy). At some of these organizations they teach kids about HIV and AIDS. __Money __- GRS is provided with food and money from many foundations in Zambia. Some of these foundations are Melinda Gates Foundation and the Hughes Foundation. These foundations help by paying the food, equipment, and AID towards HIV AND AIDS. Also most of this money works toward education. __Founder __: Tommy Clark __Headquarters __: Cape Town, South Africa __Latest News __: GRS has impacted many soccer teams globally to help fight AIDS and HIV SP. It has also formed many partnerships over the past few months. I myself think this organization is a benefit to our world and means something. __Donating Money __: I think that money donated to GRS is worthwhile because you can send recurring amounts monthly or yearly, and I just think they know the right amounts of medicine and equipment to buy. So at GRS your money means something.

GRS Graduates- 23, 165 GRS Coaches- 150 <span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);"> Zambia Condition : Zambia's economy has grown stronger and had been assumed to be a lot better over the next few years, despite of the terrible economy Zambia had decades ago. There population has also developed and gained ridiculously this past year.. Also many places are helping donate money in Zambia;s benefits. For example the chinese hydro company is investing around 600$ million dollars and shared some of that money towards a dam in Zambia. There are some other wealthy companies doing that too. Some more of the issues against this countries economy are the fact that Zambia is having to spend billions towards AID. Aid is a huge problem in Africa, as you can tell from the information given above. Another problem keeping the economy under water is the tax payers. Many people in the country don't pay there taxes, therefore you go to jail. But theirs too many to keep track, and it's getting uncontrollable.
