Bball Story: December 2017

This September we installed the first concrete sports pad in the rural Siaya District region of Kenya. This new sports pad, located at St. Catherine School, was a year in the making. It all started with a fortuitous trip to Kenya and the delivery of a basketball and some uniforms and culminated with the successful fundraising of sufficient dollars to build this first court. The staff and students at the school are thrilled to have this new addition and now the school has 4 teams, two girls' teams and two boys' teams. The young Kenyan children are keen to learn a new sport and along the way they develop great teamwork, problem solving and other important life skills. The team is also celebrating another historic first by hosting a competitive match at their school this Friday. Stay tuned for the results. Go team!
