BBWT- Boys Born With Talent. This is the name of a neighborhood soccer team that consists of a group of boys who live on 16th Street here in the Sinkor area. Over a month ago we gave them a soccer ball. That ball is now, how the Liberians would say "Finish" due to barbed wire. A couple weeks ago we received a shipment containing a new soccer ball and some real soccer jerseys to take the place of their faded white T-shirts. When they received the new gear the looks on their faces will be in my mind forever. They were excited because now they would look like a real team. Their coach, Abraham, wanted to honor us for all the support we have given their team, and renamed the team, "Golden Football Club"! It's been fun getting to know the boys, bringing them cookies after their games, cheering them on, and seeing them progress. These boys were truly grateful and humble when they accepted the items that were donated. They always said thank you and treat their stuff with great respect. We would like to thank our friends Mike and Tamara, and Cheryl for their donations that have helped these boys.
