Building on collaborations with Habitat for Humanity-El Salvador (HFH-ES), Myers Park Presbyterian Church (Charlotte, NC) and the Peace Passers we have collaborated to send 34 soccer balls, 103 pairs of youth size soccer boots, 71 soccer jerseys, 26 Nike t-shirts, as well as field cones & sport duffle bags to Getsemaní, El Salvador. The mission team will be leaving from Charlotte, NC on Feb 12th and will be working in partnership with the community of Getsemaní, EL Salvador. We are happy to have the opportunity to support sports development in Getsemaní and surrounding areas. Many thanks to Anna Carter for connecting to Peace Passers and spreading the good word about our global outreach work; and of course thanks to Donnie Daugherty (pictured below) for taking lead on picking up the equipment from us in Charlotte to prepare it for packing.

We’d also like to mention the bulk of youth soccer shoes heading to El Salvador came from a donation received by high school student Madison Bush (Richmond, VA) who collected 115 pairs of soccer boots from her local community. We are proud of her hard work and know the shoes will bring many smiles & kicks to the youth in El Salvador.
