NOT FOR SALE
Not for Sale in Thailand!
Check out this article on Free2Play right HERE!
Free2Play aims to give children who have experienced hardships the ability to play, particularly in sports. The Emory Medical University found in their research that being able to play basketball reduced the aggression in these children. "These at-risk children have an outlet for their energy, anger, boredom, and anxiety, and the results are evident in happier, calmer children." In 2009 alone, Not for Sale was able to proved 2 million dollars worth of medical supplied to aid the recovery of children in Thailand and Burma.

"The brick walls are there for a reason. The brick walls are not there to keep us out; the brick walls are there to give us a chance to show how badly we want something. The brick walls are there to stop the people who don't want it badly enough." ~ Randy Pausch, "The Last Lecture"
