The children in Zambia LOVE to play soccer, but oftentimes they don't have a regulation soccer ball to use in their games. Instead, they use plastic bags tied with string or balls made of scraps of fabric or paper. After hearing this, a few of our kids decided to use their birthday celebrations to put regulation soccer balls in the hands - or perhaps we should say at the feet - of the Zambian children our team will meet this summer.
Connor (10), Tara (12), and Ryan (13) each asked their friends to bring new soccer balls to their birthday celebrations in lieu of gifts. Together, the kids collected 28 soccer balls. Now that's something to cheer about!
