Inspired by Romeo Dallaire’s Shake Hands With the Devil, Duncan and a team of friends started a Canadian NGO called Opportunitas Aequa [OA] in 2006. Their mandate is to use sport to bring positive change to impoverished areas around the world. They’ve already shipped over 1000 soccer balls & pairs of cleats to Ecuador and are planning a trip to Rwanda in ‘09. Below are two videos from their website:

You know “I BELIEVE IN MAGIC!”
Opportunitas Aequa sounds like these guys do too . . . just with a little elbow grease to make it all work!
