Soccer balls to village kids in Assam! Thanks, Team Thunder!

Christmas is a time for giving.  That is just what the members of a local Under-13 Girls Soccer team thought when it was time for their annual Christmas Party.  Team Thunder, coached by Ash Mohtadi and Sandy Grant, hosted their party last weekend.  Instead of buying each other new gifts, it was decided they would recycle a gift and donate the money saved to a good cause.  The thought was “since we’re used to a 'Green' Christmas anyway, let’s keep it green by helping others in need.”

Team Thunder thought it would be nice to supply children with soccer balls to support soccer across the globe.  The girls have donated $160 to “Kids to Kids” a project that one of their members, Madison Kelly, helped launch.

Peggy Carswell from Fertile Ground, received the money and was very pleased by the generous donation made by the team.
“It’s heart-warming to see the shift taking place in the hearts and minds of young people like Team Thunder’s members.  The girls are really aware of the needs of children here and around the world, and discovering that there’s something they can do to make a difference.”   

 “Most families in the Ambikapur village area are barely able to come up the money for their children’s school fees every year.  The gift of the soccer balls is going to bring smiles to the faces of many kids, teachers and parents!”
