Finding inspiration in India

"All I've seen is passion - a passion for life and a passion for football" - Jeb

A great video interview from CNN-IBN with Jeb and Caitlin:

"Hold onto your dreams, keep that passion"

A video from Jeb and Caitlin:

On a personal level, watching that last video has inspired me beyond belief. Seeing the looks of joy and happiness on the faces of those kids leaves me speechless. 

Jeb wrote to me in an email describing just how amazing these people are and how they value and appreciate the smallest things. 

This video and the efforts from Jeb and Caitlin here bring me nearly to tears - Jeb told me that if he and Caitlin could have an impact on one person, if they can get their message across to just one - then they have accomplished something.

I fully agree with them - but at this point, I think they've reached more than one.

Here are a few more pictures that we have taken! Each picture shares its own story. Children are the future... empower them!

A medium for peace

Hi everyone!
I received an email from Jeb today with updates!

Although he couldn't possibly sum up his experience thus far with an email, he did mention the words crazy, amazing, fascinating, rewarding, inspiring, and phenomenal.

One of the pitches Jeb played on in East Delhi.

"The stories and the people are incredible - they leave me speechless each and every day."

Here are just a few highlights so far from his trip, Jeb will soon be writing up a post!
