One CASL Team Helps A Wish Come True
On Saturday June 16th 2007 the 95 Premier White boys team
played host to 21 African children known as the African Children’s
Choir in a friendly soccer scrimmage at the WRAL Soccer Center.
The African Children’s Choir is comprised of children ages
seven to eleven. Each child in the Choir has lost one or both
parents to poverty or disease. The Choir performs throughout
the world bringing hope and joy to everyone they meet while
shining the spotlight on the plight of children in Africa.
The African Children’s Choir, with a focus on education,
are ambassadors for all children in Africa who have become
orphans because of the AIDS pandemic. They have helped
establish numerous schools and provide educational scholarships
in several countries in Africa. This touring group has a home
in the Triangle where they will be living and studying for the
next year in between breaks from their touring schedule.
One wish the children made when they arrived in America this
past April was to play in a soccer match on a real soccer field
against a real soccer team. CASL along with parents and Eurosport
donated gear and supplies to the children to outfit them like a real team.
The African Children’s Choir along with the 95 Premier White boy’s
team were privileged to have 3 of the Carolina Railhawks team members
coach and play in the scrimmage.
This event had a huge impact on everyone that was involved
