Time to Play Ball

It's finished! The basketball court is painted and ready to be played on and the guys are already coming. We just hosted our first 3 on 3 basketball tournament and the guys had a great time. However, the guys in the neighborhood haven't needed much encouragement to get out and play. Almost every day around 4pm we begin to have a small crowd that soon turns into 2 half court games and usually lasts until 7pm or so. We would like to build another court someday and be able to cover one of them so that it would usable during the rainy season.

A HUGE thanks to the USC team that came down and put in the new basketball court! We look forward to having teams and volunteers who love to their game on!!

We are also mid-construction on our media center/library. Things sometimes seem to move quickly and then you run out of bricks and you might be waiting for a little while! We have a a bunch of donated books to create a library with and look forward to having a place where kids can practice reading and learn to really enjoy it. Eventually we hope to have a number of computers that youth, kids and adults can learn to use. Construction on the Ranchon has finished and our next step is raising money to furnish the kitchen with a fridge, microwave, stove, gas tank, sink and tiled counter, cupboards, etc. Anybody interested in helping out?
