They Made Us Proud!

Graceland SIFE team at Nationals in Minneapolis
We couldn't have been prouder!!  The huge accomplishments and humanitarian programs initiated and championed by the Graceland SIFE team were presented to a standing-room only crowd at the SIFE National Competition held at the Minneapolis Convention Center on Tuesday.  Starting with a field of over 500 teams in the U.S. it is a distinct honor to advance to National level competition where the Graceland team took home the 2nd runner up trophy in their league.  It would be very hard, however, to convince the school children and communities in Zambia where the team introduced the bicycle income generating programs in January that they didn't deserve the Grand Prize trophy!  HealthEd Connect is so fortunate to be partnering with such an outstanding team of skilled, compassionate, and creative young people.  The real winners are the many people in Africa, Lamoni, and other places who are benefiting from the efforts of the Graceland team.  A huge congratulations and sincere thank you to the students for making such a big impact on the part of the world they touched this year.
