Hunger for Hope: My Remarkable Journey from Poverty to Haitian Soccer Star
Imagine living in a place where one kick of a soccer ball could determine the rest of your life.
In Haiti, this can be reality.
Education in Haiti is tough and selective, leaving most of its youth behind with no hope for the future. Soccer can open doors and take you places, but it is also reserved for a select few, and is not always a promise of success. Having your life left up to chance seems unfair and terrifying, but when opportunity is scarce, one moment really can change it all.
International soccer star Ricardo Pierre-Louis has lived this existence, and emerged with more than awards and fame. He has found a way to bring hope to coming generations in Haiti and the United States, using his own struggles, love of soccer, and strong personal faith.
Journey with Pierre-Louis around the world, from Haiti to Europe to the United States, and discover what it takes to change the future for generations, one soccer ball at a time.

Ricardo Pierre-Louis was my French club advisor and is a teacher at my high school I graduated from. I'm so glad he is able to share his remarkable story with the world and help his charity.
