Pittsfield teens using soccer to help poor youths in Haiti - Washington Times

Pittsfield teens using soccer to help poor youths in Haiti - Washington Times: "Here you’re so used to so much structure and organization to the game,” said Pittsfield High School sophomore Jackson Rich. “But there, they don’t have the resources or the equipment or anything. They have to make do. But when they’re out there playing, they’re loving every minute of it.”

Rich, who traveled to Haiti last January, enlisted his friends to join him on the journey back there during the spring school recess. They’ll be volunteer coaches through the Housatonic-based nonprofit, HotFutbol - “Hot” being an acronym for “health, opportunity, and training.”"
