Children of Kibera Foundation is proud to introduce its new football (soccer) league! A few months ago, CoKF supporter from Washington D.C., Cindy Truitt, collected a team's worth of soccer clothes and gear, generously donated from parents of her son's Maryland travel team. Just recently, CoKF came across Mr. Aswani, local athlete, who volunteered to coach the kids every Friday during lunch. As of now, CoKF's soon-to-be-named team is merely practicing and scrimmaging, but once they have a bit more time to coagulate, we look forward to watching them win matches against other schools. The kids are thrilled to be able to participate in the world's most popular sport once a week- especially in their shiny uniforms and shoes. A huge thanks to the Washington D.C. families who kindly donated their things-- we're sure we have future Manchester United the making!
