Dear Friends of Soccer Without Borders Nicaragua,
It's my great pleasure to invite you to FSF Granada's first-ever storytelling
event to close out Year 13 of its operation. While the challenges of this pandemic year
have been many, one of the silver linings has been greater virtual connectivity. With this
storytelling, we are excited to open a window into how the program, staff, and
participants have been resilient to the many challenges that 2020 has brought, as well as
what new developments are in store for 2021.
From the recent hurricanes, to the pandemic health
risks, to drastically limited tourism that dates back to the Spring 2018 civil unrest, the
world has thrown everything but the kitchen sink at FSF Granada over the last few years.
But the incredible staff, led by Co-Directors Veronica Balladares and César Morales, has
not let those external conditions define nor derail them. With program alumnae now holding
two-thirds of coaching positions, including our 7 university scholarship recipients
serving as assistant coaches, the program has established a new generation of leaders who
are role models, leaders within their teams and projects, and collaborators in shaping the
vision of FSF for the future.
We know that Zoom fatigue is real and that screen time is excessive. Our goal is not to
add to that excess, but rather to connect you all to the on-the-ground work of building a
more equitable world for women and girls through the eyes and words of those who are
living this change every day (translated to English!). You have been a meaningful part of
the Soccer Without Borders journey in Granada, through its most vulnerable days and its
strongest days. During the hour, we plan to keep the Zoom chat open so that the time
together can also serve as a chance to connect directly with one another.
I hope you'll consider joining us for this unique virtual event at 17:00pm UK
time/11:00am Nica time on Tuesday, December 1st. The invitation is attached, and you can
RSVP here to

Abrazos,
Mary
