Sofia and Zezinha's Olympic Bid

The fight to qualify and realize our Olympic Dream is almost here.  We are Sofia and Maria, members of the Cabo Verde National Taekwondo Team!   By helping fund our training and traveling expenses, you are getting us one step closer to placing at the African Olympic Qualifiers in Morocco, February 2016

We left our family and friends and everything we knew back on the Cape Verde islands and moved to the US in order to have a better chance at qualifying for the Olympic games.   This our dream and any help is appreciated.  Thank you for your support!
