Amputee goalies play to help raise funds

Cesar and Ariel with Georges, a former player on the Haitian National Team

This afternoon, two of the team's goalies and I went and played with the group of Haitian men that I play with each Thursday night on a lighted field. Many of these men are influential businessmen and of course they all love soccer.

I told them about the team and also asked them if Cesar and Ariel, the Amputee goalies, could play for a while.

This really helped the men get to see how well Amputees can play, and everyone was very impressed. Ariel even stopped one of the best players on a breakaway!

Today was also a good day for getting paperwork done. Hopefully tomorrow we will get passports for everyone!
