Bus Fare for Chile Rugby League
Donation protected
Currently Argentina, Chile and Brazil receive minimal funding from the Rugby League International Federation.
The historic tri-series they have planned on November 12 in Miramar, Argentina has come about through the tireless development work and fund-raising of a few individuals - namely Carlos Varela and Guillermo Artiaga.
Carlos has dedicated himself in retirement to igniting Rugby League in Latin America, while Guillermo even built a makeshift football manufacturing facility in the front of his house to make rugby league balls.
To this point they have paid off accommodation, venue, food and government fees, but need a final push for the bus fare for some of their poorer players.
Keep in mind the annual income in most Latin American households is between $5000-$20,000, and even lower for some of the students and rural-based players who are vital to the spread of Rugby League.
All genuine rugby league supporters - let's show these nations there is wider support for them adopting The Greatest Game of All.
