Can you help Afghanistan get to the Homeless World Cup?

Afghanistan have appealed for help from the Hattrick community of football fans to travel to the Copenhagen 2007 Homeless World Cup from 29 July to 4 August 2007.  Can you help get Afghanistan there? A total of £7000.00 is needed to help them make their dream a reality by the 30th June.

The Afghan national team is coordinated by the Sanayee Development Foundation (SDF) is an Afghan NGO that has worked in Education, Peace Building, Civil Society Development and Community Health since 1990. Afghanistan has undergone more than two decades of bloody and bitter war. Playing football was forbidden under the Taliban regime and is now considered as a symbol on the way to a peaceful and free Afghan society.  These players have suffered a great deal and have been away from Afghanistan living in harsh conditions in refugee camps either in Iran or Pakistan. SDF helps the players to help themselves with a housing and education programs and psychological support. 

"The Homeless World Cup is an event that can change the life of anyone, not simply to help them become a professional footballer, but so that they can become a man, in everyday life. So that they can develop with regard to today’s society, which is not an easy society for everyone and that means above all developing values, human values, which I think are very important." Didier Drogba, Chelsea
