Lemuel Players Chosen to try out for National Team

Two of the Lemuel Football Club members (here we go again....I said the club closed, but what can you say when players are chosen to try out for the national team?!) have been chosen to go to the tryouts for the Haitian National Team. We are trying to set up practices and provision for extra food for these players so that they will do well at the tryouts. We don't know how good their chances are, but it's pretty exciting anyway.

Lemuel Club Scholarships

I know I said we had a closing program for Lemuel Football Club, :) but at around the same time, money was donated by Richard's former coworkers at ECTS to give scholarships to some of the Lemuel Club players. Richard felt that the national leaders should decide which guys would receive them. After they discussed it for a while, they wanted Richard's input. Finally, last week the awards were given. In the end, we were a little disappointed that the money was spread so thin--among so many kids--that each one only got the equivalent of around $15-$50 US (amounts varied depending on a few criteria). But that can pay for 1 to 3 months of school and the national leaders felt that it would be best this way. The players were happy to receive it.

Thank you ETCS employees for this special gift!

Here are the boys who received scholarships:
