Honduras kids are latest recipients of Lincoln soccer gear

Lincoln Youth Soccer continues to (charitably) expand its brand among kids in other countries who are delighted to have used LYS uniforms and soccer equipment.

Honduras is the third country to receive donated LYS gear. Kids from Ethiopia and Uganda have previously gotten Lincoln Youth Soccer gear.

LYS treasurer Ted Charrette again spearheaded the latest drive, which tallied many types of equipment: 215 jerseys, 43 pairs of shorts, 65 pairs of socks, 18 pairs of shin pads, 30 pairs of cleats, 17 balls, and an assortment of goalie jerseys, shorts, gloves and miscellaneous supplies.

Roughly half the items were given to Suzanne Burgos, a Vermont resident who is active in ACTS Honduras and will ferry the items to a remote region in northeastern Honduras. The rest was given to Sandy Storer, the Lincoln resident who kicked off the long-term effort by distributing gear in Uganda. LYS gear will be used in a Uganda tournament run by Fund a Field, which has distributed almost 12,000 uniforms, socks, cleats, balls and more, according to its website.
