Soccer Coach Helps Haiti’s Tent Kids
July 12, 2010 /
The monstrous earthquake that leveled Haiti six months ago has left 400,000 of the island nation’s residents living in tent cities. Of that number, more than half are children left with little to do during the day.
In response, Cleveland soccer coach Ricardo Pierre-Louis has teamed up with a U.S. based ministry called One Hope to host soccer clinics for the kids living in these tent cities.
The Haitian native will share his soccer skills and help the children learn to work together as a team.
