Donation Corner: Fugees Soccer

I can't take credit for this one: Lehr found this worthy cause last month. Fugees Family is a non-profit organization whose goal is helping refugee families. Their programs aide these families in the transition to life in the US through self-reliance by way of education and the building of self-confidence.

Three years ago, Fugees began as a soccer team for refugee boys in the Clarkston (Georgia) area. Luma Mufleh worked as a volunteer coach and quickly realized that the needs of this particular team were going to be unique. By the end of the second year, mentoring and after-school help were in-place. However, she realized that she couldn't address all of the needs of the players' families on her own, so Luma helped found the Fugees Family.

Here is the article Lehr found in the New York Times. It's quite inspiring!
