sounds like an interesting venture. There are some points I'm not so sure about however.
Can you tell me more about the partnerships you have that enable children to learn to read and write?
Do you teach 'brazilian' football? Do you use music (samba) and dance (capoeira) to motivate and integrate the young people?
Is your program open for boys and girls?
I am interested in finding out some more.
Spirit of Football (our entry is here - http://www.changemakers.net/en-us/node/2211 ) is making a trip through Africa to the Opening Ceremony of the FIFA World Cup in 2010. We are interested in finding interesting organisations along the way that accept student volunteers and whom we can visit and work together with.
Maybe we can chat about.
Cheers,

It's good to see that the program has had positive results in the lives of your collaborators who were former participants in the program. Being able to demonstrate your success through more examples like this will increase your opportunities to attract financial donations.
Have you investigated partnering with local businesses and maybe even hospitals if your program could incorporate HIV/Aids education? Working together with these groups could not only help you increase your incoming funds, but also might provide additional educational and other necessary resources. Also, have you petitioned the families of the C1 participants to possibly sponsor one child as they pay for their child to attend? In this way, you would be able to maintain a balance between the C1 and C2 groups and still meet your economic needs.
