About UsOur grandfather was born in Bangladesh. In 2003, he built a girls’ school on an island in Bangladesh called Karimpur, near the village where his mother grew up. Before the school was built, girls in that area didn’t have the option of continuing their education past fourth grade. This school has transformed the girls’ lives on this island by giving them the opportunity to reach the university level. The school now has over five hundred enthusiastic students from the ages of 9 to 16. We visited this school last winter, and while there we played soccer with many of the students. Their soccer skills were impressive, but they played in traditional Bengali clothing and sandals. After returning home, we wanted to help support the school in a way that was special to both the students and to us, so we started an organization called KickStart Karimpur to donate soccer cleats to the girls. We will have a booth at SoccerFest where we will collect cleats or other types of shoe donations. We would really appreciate any donations you are able to make and we hope that you help us spread the word about KickStart Karimpur. Thank you so much, and we hope to see you at SoccerFest!
