Today an orphanage in San Pedro Sula hosted a soccer tournament and invited five other orphanages to participate along with them. We went with our team from Faith Home and had a great day. It rained just about all day but it didn't seem to bother any of the kids on the teams.
The lady who is the director of the orphanage, Vivian, went out of her way to make sure we (all of us North Americans that came with our kids) had a good time. Including providing Faith Home with a list of several contacts that help their orphanage with food and other supplies for the kids.
Our team placed third at the tournament which included receiving a trophy and one of our players, Alan, got a medal for scoring the most goals in the tournament. Our kids, and we're sure all the other kids, had such a great, great time. The day included Pepsi providing free pepsis, shirts, and bandanas for each kid, lunch prepared on site by one of the local restaurants (for those familiar with Honduras it was Fogencito's) which was excellent, and snow cones.
We could not stay for the entire day and had to leave before the games in the afternoon so we didn't know how our team did. But about 4:00 in the afternoon it was easy to tell they had won a trophy. Because when they arrived on campus and piled out of the van they were yelling and celebrating and showing their trophy to anybody they could find. Here's a picture of our team getting their trophy.
