Shaun Wright-Phillips and his family and friends have now returned to England after a busy few days at the school which saw them assist a group of medical volunteers examine the children, run a football session at the school, spend quality time playing with the children and answering any questions they had, read to the children in the library and help begin rebuilding a little boy’s house which was in serious danger of falling down the hillside.
Needless to say that is was an exciting time for everyone and it has been a tremendous boost to the children and their families. A big thank you to our special visitors for making time to come over to see us at the school! We can’t wait to welcome you back again in the future.
Shaun’s visit made the Guatemalan national press with TV coverage and was on the front page and sports page of the biggest national paper, Prensa Libre. The original Spanish article, in its shortened version, can be read by pressing the link below:
