Afghan New Year Soccer Day
Calling all soccer and futbol lovers! We are excited to announce our next event, the Afghan New Year Soccer Day, on Sunday, March 20th from 11am to 3pm. Celebrating the Afghan New Year and the start of spring with multiple soccer games consisting of Afghan refugee kids and local children, we will also have Afghan food, music, face painting and caricature drawing, henna stenciling, and a variety of booths providing social service resources for the Afghan refugees in their ongoing adjustment to their new lives in the United States. We hope to see you all out there alongside our many volunteers and the families we have helped settle in the area!
About Us
Global Shout is a U.S. based 501(c)3 tax-exempt (EIN#: 85-2382286) non-profit organization originally founded by students at Georgetown University in 2005 as Global S.H.O.U.T. (Students Helping Orphans in Underprivileged Territories). After an early focus strictly on the education and care of orphaned children in third world nations, the organization underwent a gradual shift in scope of humanitarian work, expanding beyond the university and dropping the acronym, with a full rebranding in 2019-20, now operating projects internationally of varying type and purpose.
