It is an amazing trip for me, at the biggining because everybody just met on the firts two days, I felt so shy, but them when I had the opportunity to have a close contact with the kids and the teachers, and I knew this was going to be a wonderful and unforgetable experience in my life. Is so impressive how a simple football soccer game, united all the group as a great and unique group of friends, no one was worried about to win, it was just laughs and everybody sweting happiness.
It´s been a great experience, sharing with this friends of Walter Parker middle school, they taugh me that simple things in life, are the most valuable in life.
In our lifes, there are some memories that you keep in your mind, but eventually as the time pass by, days, months, years, they dessapear, however there are special memories that you keep and lock in your heart and it doesn´t matter that years or centuries pass, they will remain forever.
You are one of those special memories and you we´ll be in my heart, thank you so much for the greatest gift you gave to me, FRIENDSHIP, God bless all of you.

Roberto, You sound like a great person. I can't imagine anyone staying shy around this group for too long. I am so excited the kids will come home with some wonderful memories and have been able to interact with students there.

Roberto well said, just think if kids ran the world what a great place we would have. To settle our difference in a soccer game and to work together.
