Soccer for Peace


In an era where there are so many worthy causes competing for donations, ConcernUSA needed to capture the essence of what it's really like on the front lines of famine relief. By showing rather than telling how donations make a difference, Concern was able to raise awareness of their Somali efforts and increase financial support.

ATG researched the compelling story of the Elman Sports Club and their remarkable tour through a war-ravaged country to create this brochure. It has been used as a teaching aid in schools across the country, and it has generated additional funding and support for the club.
