Students Raise Funds for Ecuador Housing

West Orange High School students are hosting a FIFA-style soccer tournament this Friday to raise $4,000 for emergency housing in Ecuador — all organized by Spanish honors students who won a pitch competition. Eleven teams, representing countries like Mexico, Peru, and Uruguay, compete on the school’s soccer field after school, fueled by passion and community support. With QR code donations, local sponsorships, and a TEEEM matching pledge, they’re aiming to make a real impact. The event includes a costume parade, halftime show with the school band, and even Telemundo coverage — and the winning team gets a replica World Cup trophy. Teachers say the students’ leadership and teamwork are inspiring proof of what young people can achieve when driven by purpose. Support the show:Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
