Eleven members of the West Ottawa Soccer Club, known as “Team Nicaragua Bound,” spent 10 days in Nicaragua helping build a school with SchoolBOX, a Canadian charity. The team also ran a soccer tournament and engaged in daily games with the local community. The experience was life-changing for the team, as they saw firsthand the challenges faced by the Nicaraguan community. They returned with a deeper appreciation for their own lives and a commitment to making a difference.
