The Homeless World Cup Needs YOU!

If you’ve been here before then you have seen earlier stories that focus on the Homeless World Cup. Media & Communications Director of the HWC Kat Byles participated in an interview a few months ago. In addition, two coaches of HWC development teams here in the United States were interviewed last month and some of their success stories were also featured.

Now, the HWC is growing and expanding. This means they need to grow their own team to make this event grow. In a message from Kat Byles she states:

We are looking for 8 very important people to join the Homeless World Cup. Maybe you know some great people that would love to join the team?
