Every Tuesday and Thursday I go with a teammate (John) to a nearby village called Novo Celo. The trip takes about 30 minutes by car and feels like we’re going into the middle of nowhere. The gym sits on a hill with nothing else around, but on the inside 40-50 kids await our arrival.
We have had a lot of fun working with them in the last few weeks. The kids are very kind and are a refreshing end to the day. And even when we forgot to bring the basketballs on Tuesday, they participated in some high-level duck, duck, goose 🙂 It feels great being able to make them smile.
Here is a photo of John lifting one of the kids up for a dunk from our first visit with our entire team.
