Kangaroo Hops for Charity Soccer Match   May 29, 2001

The Bus of Goodwill took over 15 volunteers from  Time4sharing.com to Baskinta Lebanon today to greet 30 very eager children from the Besancon Orphanage. On the descent to the Fouad Chehab Stadium, the children sang songs and planned their game strategy for their highly anticipate game of football with the Racing Team of Jounieh.

Time4sharing.com successfully planned its 4th event in Lebanon. This international charitable movement has been spreading its wings into Bahrain, the Czech Republic, and soon to be in Thailand and the US. The most important aspect of this philanthropic movement founded by Lebanese entrepreneur, Vivian Boulos Tolan, is to donate time to the underprivileged children of our respective communities.

Saturday was full of out door activity. The orphan children aged between 9-14 were involved in the training process the Racing Team football team undergoes. Platinum International the official sponsor for the Racing team also sponsored a lunch goody bag for all the children. After lunch, the children were able to come down to the field and play their own football game as well as Ballon Chassez.

As a special treat, Time4sharing.com flew in their official mascot, Boomerang the Happy Kangaroo, from Bahrain where he was helping volunteers there with another charity event. The children began cheering for Boomerang shouting "Boomer, Boomer, Boomerang!" After assisting the Racing Team with their football training Boomerang came to greet the orphan children with hugs and high fives! "Because Time4sharing.com is planning another event in the Czech Republic Boomerang had to get on another plane and visit the orphan children there. He will definitely be back in Lebanon to help Tiem4sharing.com with their next event," says Viviane Boulos Tolan. 

Overall the children, happy, yet exhausted had a fun – filled day out with Time4sharing.com volunteers.
