Episode Description

You may not see yourself as a soccer fan but this interview with Emory & Henry's soccer coach Ali al-Gashamyis about much more than the game.

It's about a vision... a plan to achieve it... and seeing early results. It's about bringing more of the world to Emory, Va with a taste of the struggle it takes for some people to get here. It's about the gifts and contributions they bring, even to a small community in SW Virginia.

And beneath it all lies the humble effort born from a refugee camp and a pair of soccer cleats from the Salvation Army.
