Friday I sent an email out to the parents and coaches of the three soccer teams that our children play on asking for any old uniforms they may still have around, so we could take them with us to Kenya. Well, the response is completely overwhelming. We have received numerous complete uniforms in both white and blue from last year and two years ago. Currently, we have about 30 uniforms to outfit a couple of teams in Kenya. In addition to uniforms, we have a large box that overspills with cleats, well over 100 pairs of brand new shorts, numerous socks, and 2 boxes full of new t-shirts from past tournaments, camps and summer leagues that were never used. We’ve also been able to purchase whistles, practice cones, ball pumps, (4) six foot pop up goals and 100 brand new soccer balls! Like I said, amazing and overwhelming! What a blessing this will be to hundreds of children.
Thank you to all the parents that contributed something and especially to Matt, Pat, Heather, Joe, Dale and Roberta from Chesterfield United FC. Because you cared and shared, hundreds of children 7,000 miles away, will smile and laugh and experience the pure joy that comes from play and the world is just a little bit happier placeJ
That will be an incredible blessing to the children in Kenya!
