In September 2009 Nina Chenault joined the mission team from University Park Baptist (Charlotte, NC) traveling to serve areas in East Africa. Volunteering to collaborate with Peace Passers, Nina took 24 soccer balls and soccer field cones to Isiolo, Kenya. With the donated equipment Nina and the mission team held soccer clinics and skills lessons, and were even surprised to learn that the kids wanted to play volleyball too…with their new soccer balls! We are happy support this group and have recently made another donation, this time in soccer jerseys, to support their next mission trip upcoming for December 2009. We look forward to continuing the collaborative teamwork to spread the joy of soccer to all.

We’d like to thank fellow soccer fan Chad Solomonson and his family (Huntersville, NC) for volunteering to take Peace Passers soccer equipment with them on their upcoming trip to Patzicia, Guatemala. On October 28th, 2009 Chad and his wife Karin along with their 2 kids Emily and Boden are carrying 130 Peace Passers jerseys and 40 Peace Passers Balls to the El Sitan school in Guatemala. The Solomonson’s will be supporting the village of Patzicia and the El Sitan school which they first visited in 2007.  The school they will be working with during the week has 170 children in grades K-6.  Clearly the passion for global giving shines through the Solomonon’s. We wish you safe travels and plenty of soccer smiles for the youth in Guatemala!

Jake Keator (pictured above) collected 15 bags of gear from the Bolles boys soccer program in Jacksonville, FL. Jake is now an assistant coach for the U-15 boys Storm team at the Ponte Vedra Soccer Club. Amongst the gear he collected were jerseys, cleats, and some great warm ups. Anyone going somewhere cold soon?  Thank you Jake, for supporting the cause.
