markomalley Posted December 18, 2007 Share Posted December 18, 2007 Justin Porto, an American information technology contractor working in Iraq, has launched a program using soccer balls to generate goodwill in the country. Porto plans to distribute soccer balls on his daily runs through the International Zone or Green Zone in Bagdad. But first he needs soccer balls sent to him in Iraq. He is calling his project Soccer for American and Iraqi Friends, or SAIF. Porto, a retired Army lieutenant colonel, works for MPRI, a division of L-3 Communications Inc. of New York.
