Thoughts from Timo and Katie

The trip to the HWC in Paris gave us the opportunity to spend ten days with a fine group of young men who were chosen to represent Team Finland based on the successful changes in their lifestyles, and their efforts on the soccer pitch. It was gratifying to see and be a part of the friendship that the team developed both on and off the field. We were pleased and privileged to be part of the event and hope that all who traveled with us enjoyed the experience. It was a long tournament that went by ever so quickly. Now it is time to concentrate on other more important things, but we hope that soccer will remain part of the players lives wherever the future may take them. We hope that we have been able to contribute in some small positive way to their lives. Special thanks to Petri, Maukka, Edi, and Huli for their efforts, friendship and leadership.
