It is not uncommon for Will Reynolds to spend time traveling across the county performing his duties as Medworks Director of Sales. While his home base is in Richmond, VA, he is often found in our western US territories, especially Montana. But in mid-July, Will took a leap across the globe that led him to Ahmedabad, India*. He and his son, Rowen, launched out on a unique trip that gave them a great opportunity to spend quality one on one time together as well as lend a hand toward making improvements to the soccer grounds there.

Rowen, who is 14 years old, is a superb soccer player with a heart to help. He and his dad learned of this opportunity through his local team, FC Richmond. Will then approached Medworks about this outreach being a candidate for the "Making the Community Better" project. With a resounding YES from leadership, Will and Rowen began preparing for their journey to immerse themselves in a new culture while partnering in a project of shared interest. Among other tasks, Rowen and his dad cleaned up the soccer grounds, primed and painted picnic tables, helped coach U7 and U8 soccer teams, and provided encouragement to the American team living there in-residence. It was not all work though. Rowen had the unforgettable experience of playing in a tournament with the U-14 team!

It's interesting to note that this father and son duo enjoyed the fun of exploring Indian culture together, especially in a place where foreigners are uncommon. As it turns out, this trip was not only a unique opportunity for the Reynolds guys, but apparently for those they were visiting as well. As a result, Rowen was the subject of many photos, often unsolicited! It seems that everyone wanted a pic of this young American in India!

Thanks, Will and Rowen, for "Making the World Better!"
