A Special Soccer Birthday Celebration with the Jurs Twins
Linnea and Drew, age 11 both play soccer in Gastonia, NC. For their birthday party, they decided to have their friends bring soccer balls for PeacePassers instead of regular party gifts. With an outstanding response from their teammates and friends invited to the party on April 1st, Drew & Linnea collected 68 brand new soccer balls! We would like to thank the Albright-Jurs family for being involved in this special birthday event for the twins. Much appreciation for giving inspiration and opportunity for so many other children to play soccer!
Happy Birthday to Drew & Linnea Jurs, from the PeacePassers team.

29 on the 29th!
Emanating creativity at its’ finest, Kristin Bird-Norman is turning 29 years-old on December 29th, 2008. Welcoming in her 29th year in a rightful way, Kristin is yet another example of someone who recognizes the joy found in giving.

We would like to thank the Norman family & all the b-day friends for their support! The PeacePassers team wishes Kristin a very happy birthday, and may your 29th year in 2009 be filled with continued blessings.

“Hi folks, today in the morning the Peace Passers crew organized a soccer clinic for the local kids at the “The Comunidad Connect” court to give them some pointers on how they can improve their soccer skills. All the kids were super stoked because Peace Passers gave them some new soccer uniforms and now they are able to play on the next contest. Here in Nicaragua not many people want to support the young kids and keep them away from bad habits. We here at NSR want to thank these guys for helping these kids out. It is nice when people take the time to help out our community, again thank you very much.”
