Soccer Stadium Opening




Opened the "Malaab" stadium today. We refurbished the stadium which had been completely unusable due to war damage, theft and vandalism. We ran a tournament among the local Iraqi Police Stations that we partner with, and it went fantastic. This will be something that will remain in the city and keep the kids off the streets for years. One of our guys found a way to buy "Iraqi" National soccer jerseys that they handed out to the kids. The kids got popsicals (made from untreated river water, I think... I didn't try one). It was a really, really good day.
