Hey everyone, it's been an incredible week for us here at Ringers Team, and we couldn't wait to share all the amazing moments from our recent giving event in Ecuador. We packed our bags, grabbed our soccer gear, and headed off to the beautiful country of Ecuador to spread some love for the beautiful game to some kids far separated from the pop culture of soccer.
Partnering up with our pals at Seed Soccer and Cumbre Alta Soccer Club was an absolute game-changer. Seed Soccer, a non-profit dedicated to bringing soccer training to kids in hard-to-reach areas, and Cumbre Alta, a professional soccer team from Quito, joined forces with us to make this event extra special.
We ventured deep into the heart of rural Ecuador, far from the hustle and bustle of city life, to reach the kids in remote villages outside Nanegalito. These are places where one-room schools cater to kids of all ages, where the daily commute to school involves hours of walking, and where internet and TV are distant dreams. Life here revolves around the land, with farming being the main gig for most families.
But amidst this rugged terrain lies a love for soccer that knows no bounds. And that's where we came in. Lush greenery, tropical vibes, and the sound of rain almost every day – welcome to the Cloud Forest, folks. It's truly one of the most beautiful places on earth, and the perfect backdrop for our soccer camps.
Watching those kids light up as they received their very own soccer balls – each one signed with their name – was a moment we'll cherish forever. Its likely that these kids have never experienced anything like this before, and being able to give them that joy is what it's all about for us at Ringers.
At the camps, we kept it simple yet fun, teaching the basics of soccer and sharing drills they can practice both solo and with their friends. And let me tell you, these kids soaked up every moment like sponges. It was pure magic.
The impact we saw in this event made us realize that we're just getting started. Our mission at Ringers FC is all about giving back, and we've got big plans ahead with over 1,000 balls in production that will be headed back to our partners in Ecuador and other partners around the world, including an upcoming donation to Swaziland, Africa. More trips, more villages, more soccer balls – we're pushing to inspire the dreams of kids around the world. So stay tuned, because our next adventure is just around the corner.
And before we sign off, a massive shoutout to all of you who support us. Every order, every cheer – it all makes a difference. Together, we're changing lives, one ball at a time.
Until next time, keep kicking, keep smiling, and keep spreading that love for the beautiful game. Peace out! 🌟⚽
