Sam in Kenya..

Still not much going on.. I stumbled across this article on the Winston Salem Journal. It features our very own Sam Cronin! He spent 18 days in Kenya working at two orphanages.

Sam Cronin and his girlfriend, Samantha Holt, had an African experience they're unlikely to forget.

They spent 18 days in Kenya earlier this month, working at two orphanages through the Amani Children's Foundation. They said that the time was rewarding, even though some of their things were stolen near the end of their stay and they had stomach problems from some of the food.

"It was great to see how another culture lives and what those kids are up against," said Cronin, who played soccer at Mount Tabor High School and Wake Forest, and recently completed his rookie season with Toronto FC of Major League Soccer. "It gives you some perspective that you don't have because you take for granted how we were raised and how lucky we have it."

The two returned last week in time for Christmas, but they talk as if they already have received plenty of gifts.
