Default NHLPA working with Worldvision

I was pleased when I just saw a tweet from PKSubban talking about a Worldvision trip partnered by the NHLPA to Haiti. I didn't know the NHLPA worked with these guys who have been doing great things around the world since before eve the orginal Liveaid for Africa. I just thought this should be known by more people.

My dad worked with Worldvision back in the 80s and was in Africa just before I was born. He even met Bono back there who was checking out what was going on and could have been the trip he got inspiration for such great songs like Where the streets have no names.

Bono is still active in Africa - this talk is a little dated but within the last 6 years

I know Bono is still active, I just thought it was cool to see the NHLPA working with an older NPO that's been doing this kind of work for a long time.

Yeah, sorry - didn't mean to detract from the message. In the video, he talks about that long ago trip to Ethopia as being when it all started for him - I guess he met your Dad on that trip.

I am hanging around here waiting for the DHFUA to get active on the world stage.

good to hear about the NHLPA working in Africa. Further evidence that hockey players are awesome.
