This past summer Play For Hope fell in love with a group of street boys who showed the power that sports and mentorship can have to transform lives.  The boys all live near each other and take care of one another.  They often walk upwards of 2 hours with little food just to play soccer matches against opposing teams.  This trip I was able to visit the boys and surprise them with new uniforms from Peace Passers International, which we will be able to keep for them at our offices to use.  We unfortunately cannot distribute the jerseys due to our current limited supply and the high risk of theft if the boys possess the jerseys on the streets.  Check out the video and photos of these excited boys:
