Our fearless leader, Joben, is currently in Rwanda with our non profit Beyond Boundaries. On top of owning and operating two Soccer Shots franchises in Orange County, CA and Miami, FL, raising three beautiful young children, and recently moving the whole family to the East Coast, JoBen has been sacrificing any free time he may or may not have to one of his true passions, spreading the game of soccer to underprivileged kids internationally. Check out http://www.donatesoccer.com to learn more about what JoBen is doing for Beyond Boundaries currently, as well as past and future action.
For those of you who do not know JoBen, he grew up on a Missionary base in the jungles of the Amazon basin in Peru until he was 18 years old. He has a huge heart for soccer, as well as giving back to the same sort of communities he grew up in as a child. With Beyond Boundaries he is able to combine the two. Beyond Boundaries’ mission statement is to donate sustainable soccer academies to developing communities and help in the character development of young children through the platform of soccer.
Currently he is in Rwanda at the Wellspring Academy. He has taken over 100 new soccer balls and other soccer equipment with him to donate to the school. In addition, he is also sharing to the staff at the Wellspring Academy his knowledge of soccer academies, including character development, fun soccer games for the kids, and financial, accounting, and budgeting strategies. All of this will ensure that the Wellspring Academy can provide a quality soccer program to their students for years and years to come.
We, at Soccer Shots OC, are so proud to be a part of Beyond Boundaries. We are blessed to be able to positively impact the lives and growth of children here in the Orange County area, and it is a true honor to be able to also positively impact kids internationally also. We are so excited what Beyond Boundaries is doing right now in Rwanda, what we have already done in Peru (check it out here, http://www.donatesoccer.com/academies), and our plans for the future next year in Nigeria.
Good luck JoBen! Our thoughts and prayers are with you and the kids you are impacting over there in Rwanda.
