Peace Passing from California to Uganda

If you remember hearing about Alex Vazquez’s birthday party in Riverside, California then this story will speak to you! http://peacepassers.org/alex-celebrates-his-7th-birthday-with-peacepassers-style. After the party Alex & his mom shipped the soccer balls to San Francisco, California where brother Cameron Cooper volunteered as a Peace Passing link. As Alex’s Peace Passers soccer balls traveled onward to the hands of Cam, he then passed them along to Nicole Stannard (Clinical Director, Global Nurse Initiative) www.globalnurseinitiative.org.

Nicole and the GNI team then carried them to Fort Portal, Uganda where they were donated to the school, The Paul Devlin Academy. Nicole wrote to say “The kids loved, loved, LOVED their soccer balls and the teachers were beyond grateful for them. Without you guys we would have never been able to do this, so thanks to you, Cam and Alex who donated the soccer balls.”

The principal of the school will keep the soccer balls at the school and they will use them during the school day when the teachers can watch the kids. We must agree this will be a great addition to their school day!! Thanks goes out to Alex, Cam, Nicole and Candace from the Peace Passers for participating in another successful circle of giving!
