No estuvo presente en el primer partido, ya que se encontraba en cuarentena preventiva. Tuvo muchos obstáculos para estar presente en el segundo partido, los altos costos de los vuelos, problemas del visado, autorizaciones de las autoridades. Y después de tanta espera, por fin puedo estar con su país en un partido de la Copa del Mundo.
TIENES NUESTRO RESPETO, MICHEL NKUKA.
My sister Maya and I were profoundly shaped by the influence of our mom, Ann Dunham. Giving Maya a preview of the Obama Presidential Center, including a new sculpture by Maya Lin dedicated to our mom’s memory, was truly special.

Earlier this year, Daniel Cressy was one of fewer than 100 people in the world to receive gene therapy for sickle cell disease, and today he is the FIRST person in Louisiana to be functionally cured! His powerful journey shows why access to lifesaving treatments and potential cures should never depend on a person’s ZIP code. We must continue fighting for health equity so every family has the same opportunity and hope.

In December 2015, 15-year-old Zaevion Dobson, a Fulton High School football player from Knoxville, Tennessee, made a decision most people could never imagine.
He was with friends when gunfire suddenly erupted during a drive-by shooting. In that terrifying moment, Dobson had only seconds to react. He could have run.
He could have tried to save himself. Instead, he threw his body over the girls beside him, shielding them from the bullets.
The girls survived. Zaevion did not.
His final act turned a teenage football player into a national symbol of courage. In 2016, Dobson was posthumously honored with the Arthur Ashe Courage Award at the ESPYS, becoming one of the youngest recipients ever.
Fulton High School later retired his No. 24 jersey, ensuring that his name would never be remembered only for how he died, but for how he chose to protect others in his final moments.
Zaevion Dobson was only 15 years old, but his courage carried the weight of a lifetime.
