The Power of Sport Summit was hosted at Northeastern University in Boston. The two day event focused on the relationship of sport and social responsibility.
Lawrence's presentation described how and why Street Soccer USA was founded, the success and accomplishments of the program, and the future for SSUSA. In addition, Lawrence described the role the organization has played in integrating sport with social responsibility.
The Summit was an interactive meeting of those in field of social justice and sport. Experts in the fields of research, education, and advocacy were on hand to celebrate, reinvigorate, and advance this very important work. Some of the key issues that were discussed included the role that sports play in influencing and enhancing overall society and what further actions are needed to merge the sport and social responsibility.
The objective of the Summit was to generate discussion around current trends, including what's working, what's possible, and what important actions are needed to help advance this initiative.
Street Soccer USA is proud to to have been part of this event, and wants to thank everyone in attendance for making this conference possible.

The Vuvuzela is an annoying plastic trumpet also known as a stadium horn that is constantly blown at all soccer/football matches in South Africa. It sounds like a deafening mix of angry elephants trumpeting, a swarm of buzzing bees and a fog horn. What can we do? Go to http://www.banvuvuzela.com/ Register with your name, country and email and then vote. Tell your friends and family to do so too. It is our intention to submit these votes to the relevant authorities who can do something about it. Together we can make our 2010 World Cup the best experience for all.
