PeacePassers would like to wish safe travels to volunteer Kari Cope (who also traveled to Haiti back in March 2009) as she is now crossing borders again this June 2009, taking 2 bags full of PeacePassers gear to her destination in Zambia. Kari and a longtime friend are going on a special trip with World Hope International to Zambia, which is in southeast Africa. (http://www.worldhope.org/countries/zambia.htm)The gear includes 2 Diadora bags filled with balls, boots, shorts, & full sets of jerseys that were donated from Madison Soccer Club (Susanne von der Linde in Madison New Jersey) & from the Minnesota Thunder Academy (Cara Sierks in Minneappolis, MN).

This is what we like to call “Peace Passin in the parking lot”. After an evening match with the Charlotte Women’s soccer league, Candace Cooper passes over two bags of gear to Kari Cope in preparation for her trip to Africa.
