¡La pasión y sentimiento de los chicos de El Salvador impactan a cualquiera! Andrew Aris es uno de los custodios de Spirit Of Football. Ellos cuidan y viajan con el balón por todo el mundo hasta llegar al Mundial de Brasil 2014. Andrew tuvo la oportunidad de jugar con los chicos de dos centros escolares que Glasswing apoya y nos contó que lo impresionó la pasión que ellos tienen por el deporte. Nuevamente, muchas gracias UK in El Salvador – British Embassy San Salvador y Olimpiadas Especiales #OrgulloGlasswing
