The Journey Begins
We have our team ready to go to India in November and I couldn't be more proud of our South Portland girls or more excited about the impact we will have on the girls in India and they on us! Four local high school soccer players (Amber, Brooklyn, Isabella and Margaret along with University of Maine soccer coach Finn Bucker), are meeting to put together their clinic routines, practicing their skills, booking flights and of most importance - doing some shopping for clothes flavored with the culture of India.
We will be leaving on November 17 and returning on the 27th. All of us will miss celebrating Thanksgiving with our families but connecting with 42 young girls in India trumps turkey any day!
The goals of our time in India are to educate Amber, Brooklyn, Isabella, Margaret and Finn on Indian culture, women's rights, child protection and the challenges young girls face as they move from institutions to independent living. The most important goal for our 42 girls in India is to empower them by giving them hope, connecting them to their local and global communities and providing them with opportunities to play and have a lot of fun!
