Welcome to my Grassroot Soccer blog. Throughout the course of my stay in Cape Town I'll be posting (hopefully weekly) to this blog as a way of keeping everyone up-to-date and informed about what is going on in South Africa!

For those of you that don't already know, starting on August 8th I will be working as a Global Operations Intern for Grassroot Soccer (GRS) in Cape Town, South Africa for the year! GRS, an organization that was co-founded by a Dartmouth Alum, is an organization that I've had the pleasure of growing alongside throughout my high school and college years. At last, thanks to a series of strange life events, I'm getting the opportunity to actually make my way to Grassroots' headquarters in Cape Town. My day-to-day tasks, lifestyle, and activities have yet to be discovered, but as they are I'll let them be known on this blog!

Additionally, please consider making a donation! Grassroot Soccer suggests that each intern raise $10,000 for the year. As of this post I have about $8,800 to go and would be grateful for a donation of any size to help reach the 10K goal!

Thanks for visiting and be sure to check back soon!! August 8th is just around the corner...

LOTS OF LOVE

Charlotte
