Soccer players, hospital patients, and school children across El
Salvador were recently paid a visit by Herbalife (NYSE:HLF) and LA
Galaxy officials—including academy coach and Salvadoran soccer
legend Mauricio Cienfuegos—who were in the Central American country
for a CONCACAF game against Metapan.
The week-long visit included sessions with the children and
check donation ceremonies to notable Salvadoran institutions
including soccer clinic La Fundacion Educando a un Salvadoreno
(FESA), Benjamin Bloom Kids Hospital, and Francisco Campos
elementary school, who all received financial donations.
FESA will use the funds to purchase soccer equipment and
maintain ongoing soccer programs. Herbalife and LA Galaxy officials
also toured the Benjamin Bloom Kids Hospital where physicians
explained that funds would be used for its physiotherapy area,
where children go to recover from second and third degree burns.
Children at the hospital’s burn ward also received LA Galaxy gifts,
including player bobble heads and pins. The trip was capped by a
visit to Cienfuegos’ elementary school, Francisco Campos, where
students got to hear from Cienfuegos and received lessons on the
importance of education.
