This week on Voices from the Field, we hear from the Houston Dynamo FC ball kids from Amaanah Services. ⚽

From making friends to feeling part of a team, these young people share what soccer means to them and why the game is about so much more than what happens on the field.

Yesterday. Today. Tomorrow. Always.
Until everyone can live in peace, we keep showing up.

For players like Michael, the Amaanah Lions is much more than a soccer team.

Michael fled violence in Myanmar as a child and eventually rebuilt his life in the United States. When he discovered the Amaanah Lions, he found a place where he finally felt he belonged — a community where shared experiences created lasting friendships and a true sense of home.

Now, he’s helping his teammates connect and build confidence on and off the pitch.

These kids aren’t just watching the game — they’re part of it! ⚽️

Through Amaanah Services, refugee and local kids are getting the chance to be Houston Dynamo FC ball kids at MLS matches — stepping onto the field, connecting with players and being part of the game they love.

For kids rebuilding their lives in a new place, moments like this can create connection, confidence and a stronger sense of belonging.

This week on Voices from the Field, we’re in Baltimore with Soccer Without Borders - Baltimore. ⚽

For refugee girls, soccer can be more than just a sport — it can be an opportunity to build confidence, friendship and community.

Thanks to Soccer Without Borders, players from around the world are finding connection on and off the field and showing what it means to grow together through the game they love.

Join us every Wednesday this month for more Voices from the Field!
