The Aldea Infantil Sagrada Familia is a home for abused, abandoned and orphaned children in Arequipa, Peru. The orphanage and school is run by Father Frank Cortis, a Maltese priest, and is the home for over 50 children escaping street life and abusive home environments. Many of these children don't even have their own clothes, let alone sports equipment.

 

With the help of our friends, Hat Trick Supply supplied 25 soccer balls & gently used cleats and uniforms to the children of Sagrada Familia. In early 2018, our friend Isabel Medina, visited Peru and delivered supplies that made all the difference to the children living in the orphanage. Another McLean soccer family, Nico and Andreas Karagounis, contributed dozens of old uniforms and cleats which allowed the kids to form teams, play soccer and show off their skills. Seeing the children's pride and fun competitive spirit means Hat trick Supply was successful and we're all global teammates!
