this morning, i woke up an was pleased to be able to watch a match en vivo on fox en espanol. man utd was playing tottenham hotspurs. i've been following tottenham a little bit this season because of a few things. first, although a big fan of the game, i never have invested too mucn into following just one international team. i've always been partial to the rangers, and a few years back started following the spanish yankees. granted, that was just before they became the galacticos, but this guy gave me grief one time about it. anyway, after this year's cup, the sports guy wrote a compelling article about deciding to follow a premier team, and choosing the right one. so, i've been a little more active about following the game internationally, checking out different league websites and what not. and, since i've never really put a lot of stock behind a single premier team, tottenham seemed good enough. (recently, manchester city has perked my interest too. claudio reyna plays there, and it looks like demarcus beasely may also be transferred there. although, it's a bit of a drawback to support a side whose name is man city when shortened.)
back to the point, i was watching a match this morning. united was up 1-0 and that's how it finished although tottenham has some great chances in the second half. just couldn't finish on a few great attempts. during the match, i noticed one of the digital banner ads was for an organization, found at ninemillion.org. they've got a really nice website (design wise) and an issue that is compelling and important (refugees worldwide, especially children). it also reminded me of a friend's of my brother. so i thought i'd link to kabongo.org as well. luc is a refugee himself, from congo, now living in south africa and working with nieucommunities. they've got some iconic looking design on luc's page (great for stencilling on your neighborhood wall).

You're right, great site. As you probably read, I had the opportunity to learn a lot more about refugees as we visited a refugee ministry run by Int. Teams in Nairobi this summer. They are in my thoughts and prayers.
