Question: How do you make a soccer coach happy? Answer: give him a new ball! The man with the yellow T-shirt is the soccer coach for the Kagowha Village youth soccer team. He looks pleased and grateful to receive the gleaming white ball for the team.
But the man to his left, with the biggest grin, who is that? That is Lofombo N’golu Dieux Aimee, the Field Manager for PSA in the village of Kagohwa on Idjwi Island. Thanks to the generosity of folks like you, he was able to procure the ball for the team, and by giving it to the coach, Lofombo was simply delighted.
This photo seems to fulfill the saying, “it is better to give than receive”, implying that greater joy derives from giving a gift than from receiving one. In just the same way, you can feel delighted by your gift that keeps spreading joy to the teams on the playing field… and also back to yourself. Thank you!
