The Peace Passers have completed their trek through central america by arriving in san juan del sur, Nicaragua. Travelling over 5500 miles and giving out more than 300 soccer balls, 400 team jerseys, 100 pairs of soccer shoes, and other organizational equipment associated with the game of soccer. After being stopped by nearly every local police, army, and transito policia hombre for the typical ‘gringo infraccion” associated with just having surf boards on top of the truck and being from the states, the Peace Passers finally arrived at their destination. Often, the gesture of giving away a soccer ball or a pair of soccer cleats to the policemen would be enough to put a smile on their face and let the peace passers continue on.
When they arrived in San Juan Del Sur, the rest of the soccer gear was given to the local futbol sala league at comunidad connect. Once again working with the expat Jon Thompson, they discovered that there had never been an all girls soccer league in town. Needless to say, it was an easy choice to once again sponsor a soccer league in Nicaragua. This time, it was so that the girls could have a league of their own. The Peace Passers would like to thank everyone who supported and tuned into the journey through central america.
