We met with Paul Jeffries last week. Paul Jeffries came in and talked about what he does to help people in need through sports. He spoke in front of the whole eighth grade. He works for the soccer club NYCFC, and his job is to help communities and people in need through soccer. He grew up in England playing soccer, and then came to America and was my soccer coach at DUSC. After he was coaching for a while, he got a job offer at NYCFC. He has a project which involves the public. NYCFC will donate money to one of six cities around the world, and the public has to choose which city we think needs the money the most. This really struck me because it is a great way to help people in need, but at the same time, make everyone aware of these problems.
