At Westbriar Elementary School's International Night, a team of 6th graders kicked off a drive for gently-used and new soccer equipment to benefit the the SOS Children's Villages in Mali. Over the course of a week, the Mali Soccer Drive team collected: 117 shirts, 42 shorts, 36 pairs of socks, 24 soccer balls and other assorted gear that will be sent to the orphanages Mali.
In organizing the drive, the students had the opportunity to learn about current events in Mali as they lent a helping hand to children in need across the globe.
Special thank you to DC United, PJ's Sports and Vienna Youth Soccer for contributing to the success of the Mali Soccer Drive.
