Hello everyone!
Firstly, thank you so much to those who commented, I appreciate the kind words, it is great to be supported so far away from home!
The last few days have been amazing. I finally got some pictures from the camps that we were running, and even though some of them are great, they truly do not do justice to the environment and experience that we all took away…
From start to finish the camps have been incredible, from driving through the slums and townships to get to the courts… The last couple days the courts have been outside in the middle of the township. Then to see all of the kids and how happy they were to be able to come together and play basketball and learn from some of the hoops 4 hope coaches was incredible. My personal highlight had to be the energy, love, and especially the dancing and singing… Man do these kids have rhythm. At the end of the camp they would all get together and sing and dance and run around and jump and hug everyone,,, wow that was powerful!
We also got to spend some time with some of the coaches who educated us about the situation that all of these kids are in and the true meaning of what hoops4hope stands for, which is educating and teaching these kids lifeskills through basketball. It was a great time together, he coach was so genuine and his words were all heartfelt!
So I have uploaded some more pictures, this is from our second camp, I have more on the way, hopefully get them up tomorrow… I will also tell a few more stories from our experiences with Hoops 4 Hope and working with these amazing kids!
Thank you again for reading and leaving your comments,
It is appreciated!!
