Sports shoes handover with DHL
A special thanks to Harvard students Patrick Li and Dennis Zheng for their passion for SOSA athletes that led them to South Africa to volunteer for 3 months and inspired them to run a shoe drive on their return to the US. Their generous donation of over 150 pairs of shoes were delivered courtesy of DHL, a longtime supporter of Special Olympics and official carrier for the Special Olympics Africa Unity Cup. In the words of athlete Asanda Stofile "Thank you for your kindness and please don't stop the work that you are doing because you're making a big difference to our lives."
