Kenya Trip 2012!

This is Madi Williamson, club president of Nehemiah FC! Although as a blogger and sports journalist I love words, sentences, paragraphs... all that good stuff, I'll list out my agenda in this post to make things clear and concise.

Calling All Soccer People!

Lexi and Madi, Presidents of Nehemiah FC

Hey all of you lovers of the beautiful game: Madi and Lexi are looking to organize a mission to help build our football club in Kenya!

We Found a Venue!

A HUGE thank you to the owners of Wildernest Outdoor Store on Windslow Way, Steve and Kerry Sutorius! They have offered to take a donation box for us! If anyone on Bainbridge Island has equipment donations, they can be brought to the box inside the store. I strongly encourage you to also take a gander at all of the amazing stuff they carry, I am obsessed with their clothing ;)

Thank you all for the continued support!

We're Packed up and Kenya Bound!

Well, Lexi is at least. I am staying home and my Kenya escapade will be postponed until 2013. We got together on Friday and after lots of analyzing, improvising, weighing, tying, lacing and taping we packed 37 pounds of soccer balls, cleats and a ball pump to bring to our players in Nehemiah! Here are some pictures!

Update!

A HUGE 'thank you' from Madi and Lexi!

Kickoff!

Hello faithful Kenya Soccer Project/Nehemiah FC followers!
It has been way too long since our last post on here, but I can assure you some amazing things have been happening behind the scenes! I apologize for the loose composition of this post, but I want to make sure that our faithful following is kept up to date.

Update On Our New Partnership!

We are now collecting medical supplies!

Dear readers,
First off, please excuse the slightly mindless yet informational rambling I am about to embark on. I have yet to polish off my Monday morning cup of coffee!
I am proud to announce that members of Nehemiah FC are teaming up with the members of Mombasa Sister Cities to share supplies and collaborate! I have already talked with some of the amazing (and experienced) women who are hard at work on this project and have had the privilege of being invited to some of their cultural events. The highest honor of all, in my opinion, is that Dr. Robin Jones, one of the amazing women who is dedicating much of her time to helping the women in Kenya, has trusted me to help her find a way to ship an ambulance and medial supplies to Mombasa.

Update on the Kenya Soccer Project!

We have a name! The players have spoken and have agreed that Nehemiah FC is a perfect name for the club. What a huge step! Shebby has informed me that they are getting together regularly to play and are growing in numbers. That's all we can ask for! We are currently in the process of finalizing a team crest design but in the meantime there are a few exciting announcements along with some photos. Thank you so much for your support!
