Boys, soccer coach trapped in Thai cave exchange notes with families

in #soccer6 years ago

The 12 Thai boys and their soccer coach trapped in a cave were finally able to send word to their parents after two weeks. Shortly afterward, some of their loved ones responded; others were not on site, so could not respond immediately.
Thai navy SEALs posted images of handwritten notes from the boys -- ages 11 to 16 -- in which they comfort their families and share a sense of optimism. Local authorities shared their parents' responses Saturday at the entrance of the cave.
