222,000 Kids in 1,600 Communities Will Benefit From the Campaign in the Yucatan Peninsula

New York, January 15,2014 –  Dolphin Discovery Group, the largest group of dolphinariums in the world, will incorporate the Mexican State of Quintana Roo to the “One World Futbol Project” when its members distribute soccer balls to the communities surrounding their Isla Mujeres facilities today.

“We are grateful to be able to bring the kids of Quintana Roo this joy. At Dolphin Discovery Group, we are always looking for ways to benefit our community and this project is a perfect fit for our goals,” said Eduardo Albor, General Director of Dolphin Discovery Group.

Launched in Mexico last September 2013, by singer Sting and the initiative’s creator, Timothy Jeninger, OWFP aims to provide children of impoverished communities with one of the basic toys in the world – a soccer ball.  Backed by private companies and government authorities, the kids of the states of Quintana Roo, Campeche and Yucatan will receive a total of 11,000 soccer balls by October of this year throughout the Yucatan Peninsula.

Dolphin Discovery Group’s social responsibility initiatives have provided real results to its surrounding communities. In the past 3 years, more than 10,000 children have learned about sea life and swam with dolphins as part of its educational programs. In 2013, its veterinarians were also credited with saving an endangered dolphin that lost its way and was caught in the reefs that surround Isla Mujeres.
