Intense

​Traveling to developing countries for A Chance In Life is always challenging and eventful. But my latest trip to Rome in June, proved to be just as intense. Here are some highlights:

• On June 23, the boys of our Town in Rome played the final game of a soccer tournament against a team of famous former players. This was a wonderful opportunity for our boys to work together. The event was organized by the United Nation Agency for Refugees. Before and after the event, the boys were interviewed by journalists of local TV and radio stations. What was the final score? Well … the boys lost 4-1 on the field, but they won the love and affection of the many fans at the stadium.
• A Chance In Life was invited to attend a two-day meeting at the Vatican to contribute to a panel discussion on the topic ‘Educating is Forming.’ More than 70 attendees from around the world shared their experience.
• We accompanied Mr. Tim Tynan, CEO of Bank of America Merchant Services and 2018 Man of the Year at our Gala, Mr. Guy Chiarello, President of First Data, and his wife Denise to a private audience with Pope Francis at the Vatican.
