Send Noralia and Leilia 2 the SPG's

Donation protected
It is with shear excitement that we found out Leilia will also be part of the Women's National Volleyball Team and is the youngest player on the team to be representing American Samoa on such a great platform.  Noralia and Leilia's selection was based on their outstanding volleyball skills and their great expertise. 

Our Noralia (Nora, LaLa) started playing volleyball at the age of 8.  She played for Club West, Starlings Monrovia and Starlings Hacienda Heights.  She played at Monrovia High School under coach Wayne Teng and for Pasadena City College under Coach Tammy Knott-Silva where she currently holds the record for most Aces in a season, most kills, and most kills per set.  In 2013 she was selected for the All So-Cal Region. Noralia currently attends Northwestern Oklahoma State, getting her degree in sports medicine.  

Our Leilia (Tweety Bird) started playing volleyball at the age of 8.  She played for club teams Starlings Monrovia, Club West, Long Beach Mizuno and San Gabriel Elite.  She has 2 Gold Medals from Junior Olympics.  One form Club West and one from Starlings.  She has 3 Silver and 1 Bronze from Junior Olympic Qualifiers playing with San Gabriel.  She played varsity as a freshman at Maranatha and won first team Olympic league.  She played varsity as a sophmore and won 1st team all conference for Monrovia High School playing under coach Wayne Teng.

This is a dream come true for sisters to play together on the same team.  Even a bigger dream that it is being done while representing their Samoan roots.
Noralia and Leilia have an opportunity to play on the American Samoa Volleyball team in the South Pacific Games that will be held this summer in Papua New Guinea.  Winning this tournament will put them and the American Samoa Team a step closer to participating in the Olympics 2016.

There is no amount to small as we are humbled in reaching out for donations.  This is a once in a lifetime opportunity and we are all excited to see Noralia and Leilia play and be part of the team representing American Samoa in the games.  All funding will be put towards their flight from CA to American Samoa and then the flight from American Samoa to Papua New Guinea.

THANK YOU to every single one of you who have contributed to this cause so far.  Your donation and names have not been overlooked.  They have some things in store for you...:)
