What happens when you take 11 Washington DC area girls between ages 14 and 16, supremely confident and skilled on the soccer field and less confident talking about death, HIV/AIDS and sexuality, and taken them on a trip to South Africa to meet with girls their own age who are less confident on the soccer field and more comfortable with their own sexuality and HIV/AIDS and death. The Wahsington Post has a blog called Worlds United that is telling the story from the first person accounts of the players.
This is what I love about soccer--it is universal and provides a wonderful means of exploring the world.
