About judy mcpherson

This is how judy is a Changemaker:
I think I fit the Ashoka description of an entrepreneur in that I am enthusiastically possessed ---full time---by the idea/concept of PLAY SOCCER and persist in trying to make it grow to fit the vision in my mind. I think PLAY SOCCER and its holistic model for development have potential for wide spread and significant socio-economic impact--- that it is realistic to believe in its vision, its focus on children, youth and volunteerism, and that the practical road map that is inherent in the program model is an exciting challenge.

The place for which judy feels a fondness or connection:
Maine---a beautiful and exhilerating landscape of ocean, mountains and forest, small town simple life and connections but large open vistas and views that stretch far out to sea.

The change judy passionately wants to happen:
measurable improvement in the health and socio-economic environment of the most disadvantaged community populations, a joyous participation in sport that builds physical well being and strong, educated children and youth, a "can do" spirit and appreciation of determination and self help in communities where resources of all kinds are scarce and life is hard
