Two CFL Players. One Trip To Kenya. And A Story That Stayed With Them | The Vision Journal

Описание: When CFL players Royce Metchie and Gino Lewis travelled to Kenya with World Vision Canada, they expected it to be meaningful - they didn’t expect it to be life-changing.

In this episode of The Vision Journal, they talk honestly about what they experienced: walking for water alongside women and families, seeing where communities are forced to collect water, and witnessing what happens when clean water finally arrives.

They share:
What it feels like to carry water for kilometres
The risks families face just to get a drink
How clean water gives people back time, safety, and opportunity
The moment a new well was turned on - and why no one there will ever forget it
Why Royce decided to sponsor a child he met on the trip
It’s not just about water - it’s about what water makes possible.

🎧 Watch the full conversation and see how you can be part of the change.
