This is from a CNN story on the trapped soccer teams. So far 8 of the 13 have been rescued. This seems to be a well organized and thought out rescue by the Thais and the international group working with them. If the world works together so much good can happen! We need to do more of that, more us and less me stuff. We share a common humanity and need to think that way over race, religion, nationalities, sexual orientation, gender etc.
from the CNN story:
Assistant coach Ekapol Chantawong, 25, was said to be the weakest of the group when they were found, as he reportedly refused to eat any of the food and gave it instead to the boys.
Captain Duganpet Promtep, 13, is described as a motivator and highly respected by his teammates. He had apparently been scouted by several Thai professional clubs.
Myanmar-born Adul Sam-on, 14, speaks several languages, and was the only team member to be able to communicate with British divers when they were first discovered.
It was 17-year-old Peerapat Sompiangjai's birthday when the group became trapped in the cave. The snacks the boys brought with them to celebrate are likely to have helped them survive their ordeal.
