MISSION
Our
mission is to bring hope of a better life to all
Haitians through the game of soccer. We believe
that the teamwork, dedication, and perseverance
that the Haitian U-17 Soccer team girls have
learned and shown through soccer, will equip them
to face the challenges of their post earthquake
situation.
As we have seen countless times, sports
have brought people together amidst great turmoil.
Likewise, our mission is to provide these girls
with the confidence to show their people that
there is hope not only for Haitian soccer, but
also for the devastated nation of
Haiti.
GOALS
3.) To provide
personal and financial support to enroll as many
of the girls in United States colleges as
possible.
Not only will that give the girls another
chance to play the game they love but the college
experience will change their lives forever. One or two
will be ready academically by the spring of
2012.
The
first girls have been identified, profiles of
their academic and soccer accomplishments have
been prepared, and colleges are being
contacted.
2.) To provide
help to these girls with the daily necessities of
life and to let then know that they are not
forgotten.
In
March, 2011 Bryane led a group from the foundation
on a visit to the girls in Haiti. The group
took 800 pounds of clothing, supplies, and
educational materials and spent 3 days with the
team. See photos

1.) To bring
the Haitian U-17 Women's National Team to a
training camp and to play in the Disney Cup
International Youth Tournament, July 6th -July
18th, 2010.
To show them that they are capable of doing
incredible things; there is still hope for their
lives and the life of their country.
Completed
successfully in the summer of 2010. See photos

The story of the Haitian girls soccer team at the CONCACAF
U17 tournament aired April 27 on E:60. There was no Hollywood ending. The girls didn't
even score a goal. Losing meant the girls would have to return to their home island and
face the results of January's devastating earthquake. Lisa Salters reports.
