The Afghanistan Soccer Ball give was a huge success, and what an appropriate Independence Day project! The Kicks Project donated a number of soccer balls to Lieutenant Corporal Billy Holdsworth stationed in Helmand Province to distribute to local Afghan kids with the purpose of creating trust and good-will. We started the project about 2 months ago, but packages move slowly in Afghanistan and we had to break the boxes down to manageable sizes so that they get to their destination (large packages are often stolen at the post office or in transition) and with the help of the Rotary Club of Collegeville, we were able to successfully ship 10 packages of soccerballs to LtCpl Holdsworth’s unit.
LtCpl Billy Holdsworth has just returned home from his tour of duty and we are happy to have him state-side. He will be giving a presentation to the Rotary Club next week so we’ll be sure to post photos from the event.
Happy Independence Day everyone!
