Soccer Star Eddie Henderson to Chat About Peruvian Outreach Work
Sports are a great pastime for many Americans, but they can also be a positive instrument of change in underprivileged communities.
On April 29 at 10 a.m. EDT (1400 GMT), join soccer star Eddie Henderson to discuss his career as a soccer player, as well as his inspiring outreach work in Peru building cooperation and solidarity with Afro-Peruvian youth.
Eddie Henderson is a retired U.S. soccer player and current state technical director of coaching education and player development for Nevada Youth Soccer. His successes as an athlete include playing 11 years professionally and being a member of the U.S. U-17 and U.S. U-18 national teams. He also played for the United States at the 1987 U-20 FIFA World Cup in Chile. He recently traveled to Peru to conduct clinics and other outreach efforts for underprivileged communities, aiming to help at-risk Afro-Peruvian youth change negative conduct by positively influencing them through street soccer and soccer clinics.
