SRS-International was able to come alongside the Seehaus and provide soccer balls for the residents. The Seehaus is an alternative prison program for youth. Youth ages 14-23 who have been sentenced 1-5 years in prison can apply to the program. In the program, they learn to become responsible citizens. They live in a family unit with groups of 7 and a host family. They also receive vocational training in wood work, metal work, and agriculture. Within this construct, they have the opportunity to play sport on Friday and Saturday afternoons, and they usually play an organized sport. This is where the ability to equip the Seehaus with equipment for the youth to enjoy sport within their context.
With your donations, we provided the Seehaus with 18 all-purpose soccer balls. Some of you may ask but why so many? The Seehaus has 2 houses. One in Leonberg, Germany and One in Leipzig, Germany. The balls will be divided among the 2 houses to be used. SRS-International has an ongoing relationship with the Seehaus and looks to assist them in their programs as needed.
