Empower. Protect. Inform

The World Cup soccer club offers a wonderful program that works with the children's hospital to offer programs about the importance of accepting people for who they are without judging them and without putting them down. This organization has done an especially good job with working with the Therapeutic Recreation Specialist to form several teams that incorporate people with Epilepsy on to their teams. They not only empower this kids by teaching them to play soccer, put helps protect them by offering a safe place for them to do something they love in an environment that is fully equipped to meet their needs. In addition to helping athletes with Epilepsy, World Cup also focuses on training other athletes about this condition and what do if a child may have a seizure. Also, World Cup trains their athletes to look after one another as a team, no matter what may be going on in that child's life at that time. By informing other kids about different conditions, they are training them to be acceptable of people with all abilities.
