This is why we started a nonprofit. My heart broke meeting kids of Entrada Uno in La Paz. There is no hospital in town, there is no grass to play soccer, there is no government help. We came to help those who have been forgotten, those who desire and deserve. My heart is broken and I cry as I write this. Inversion Social is funding an after school program for these children. A lovely woman named Julie has kids come over after school, and she cooks for them, as food is scarce. Her and her husband walk them over to the community "field", a dirt field that cars also use as a street. This is no condition for children. Upon meeting Julie's son I noticed one thing- he was happy, he was happy to be able to play soccer. He has many trophies and is a soccer star at age 9. When I met him and his sister they had no shoes on, they ran in the dirt street with mucky water flowing through. My heart is broken for these children. For people like Julie and Giovani, parents of a superstar that want to spread this happiness, and values to all children in the community. The program has 70 regulars, 70 kids 5 days a week, to feed, to teach. We are so blessed to have first world problems, and sometimes we forget third world problems still exist. My love goes to the kids of La Paz, may God bless them through Escuela Angie F.C.
