The chance of catching a ⚾ at a baseball game is slim, but what are the odds of catching two?
During a cultural excursion to a Kansas City Royals game, #IVLP participant Angelo Haruni from Albania 🇦🇱 caught two baseballs by hand. What an amazing experience - and at his first baseball game!

1/3 #70Years70Stories In 2000, Kyrgyz delegate Avazbek Atakhanov explored religious diversity and tolerance in Kansas City on a @StateIVLP program. Religious oppression's legacy in Kyrgyzstan was a focal point.
globaltieskc.org/70-stories-…
2/3 Avazbek found inspiration in America's Heartland, where religious diversity flourished. His journey intersected with the future KC household name @repcleaver, who championed religious freedom as a member of Congress.
#ReligiousFreedom #70years70stories @StateIVLP
3/3 Avazbek returned to Kyrgyzstan empowered, eventually becoming Deputy Foreign Minister!
His story highlights the lasting impact of global connections and cultural exchange.
