Thanks to donations from kind strangers, 14 school soccer players from Norway House, got to see a FIFA game in Winnipeg yesterday.
Physical education teacher at Helen Betty Osborne Ininu Education Resource Centre, Michael Knox says they got free tickets to a FIFA game, but the problem was getting down South: "Because of the timing of the trip, being so late in the year there was no more school funds available to us, so we had to fundraise for the whole trip. I had heard about go fund me and I checked it out, and kinda got the idea of how it works, so I thought it’d be a good idea to set one up and see what we could get. I never thought there we would be able to raise as much as we did".
Through the Go Fund Me page Knox set up, the teams raised over $3,000.
The 14 students got to see the Japan vs. Ecuador game yesterday evening.
