Our cause for the 2010/11 school year is to send a team of student-athletes on a service trip to Ecuador in July to build schools, assist with healthcare, and teach sports skills. Our goal is to help lift Ecuadorian villages out of extreme poverty through education.
The sustainable, "Adopt a Village" project combines the efforts of current and former student-athletes from across the world with local Ecuadorian villagers - creating an amazing team that will make a life-changing difference for generations to come.

Zac Ciullo
School: University of Michigan
Sport: Football
Major: Law
Zac Ciullo is a senior football player at the University of Michigan. His career goal is to be an attorney.
Zac was selected to be in the spotlight because he did such a great job as our "Minister of Strength" in Kenya. Zac worked extremely hard in his fundraising efforts and therefore was selected to be one of the student-athletes from Michigan to travel.
Zac was loved by all the children and he was often seen holding 3 or 4 of them at a time, whether hanging off his outstretched arms or climbing on him in any way they could. It was amazing to hear Zac chant "Let's Go Blue" with the students and see him carry two barrels of water for the mamas while all the rest of us struggled to carry one. Everyone watched in awe as he carried one in each hand back to the mama's house.
It was so great to have Zac come to Kenya with us and hopefully on our service trip to Ecuador we will have several more student-athletes joing our travel team.
Thanks for all your efforts Zac- you were such a big part of the SALSC journey to Kenya!
