Well, it's the night before we leave and most of the preparations have been made. We are so thankful for loving parents that looked at us a little bit like we were crazy when we announced that we were heading off to Africa...but understand us and willingly and lovingly agreed to watch our three children. Our kids have also been great about this whole idea and they are hoping to be able to go over to Kenya on another trip very soon. This trip would have been much harder for the children if it weren't for some of our close friends that also have children on CUFC and have graciously agreed to shuttle our children around to practice and even take them to the tournament next weekend in Fredericksburg. Sarah and I are so grateful!
Just minutes ago the lids went on our 4 pieces of checked luggage full of soccer balls and gear. We are right at the limit of 200lbs and we still have 150-200lbs in the garage, which is great news for the next team going over...we've got a head start on sending even more stuff. Thank all of you for your donations and your kind words and support. The whole idea here was to "connect" the global soccer community and the response has been amazing. We can't wait to share all of the photos of the smiles and joyful faces of children in Kenya that are going to be able to use these balls and uniforms.
Thank you and God bless you all!
David and Sarah
