POTSDAM --The SUNY Potsdam women's soccer team is sponsoring an
Armenian child through World Vision, an international Christian
humanitarian organization.
The team is making monthly donations through the organization to help
support 11-year-old girl Manush. Manush currently attends primary
school where her favorite subject to study is the Armenian language.
She enjoys helping her mother with household tasks and playing soccer.
"When I brought this idea to the team, they were all for it," said
Bears Head Coach Mark Misiak. "All of us are so fortunate to do what
we love and be involved with SUNY Potsdam, so it's important that we
give even just a little bit to people who aren't nearly so lucky."
The donations go help Manush and her community get access to clean
water, health care and better education. "I hope that our sponsorship
of Manush helps her to follow her dreams," said 2013 team captain
Kate Clauss. "We get the chance to follow ours by playing a sport in
college, so it's great to give someone the same chance.
Projects like this help to bring our team closer together, and it's
also pretty cool that soccer is Manush's favorite sport."
World Vision is a global humanitarian organization with offices in
approximately 100 countries. Its staff consists of nearly 40,000 whose
skills include a broad variety of technical specialties, ranging from
hydrology to microenterprise development to public health.
The millions of people served by World Vision include earthquake and
hurricane survivors, abandoned and exploited children, survivors
of famine and civil war, refugees, and children and families in
communities devastated by AIDS in Africa, Asia, and Latin America.
