Play For Hope

I was recently able to visit Hope For Life Ministries with Serieux and Christian, my two main Rwandan coordinators.  This past summer Play For Hope was able to work twice with Hope For Life, which now houses 19 former street children, who are all attending school.  We were inspired each time by the amount of change we could see in the boy's lives.  It is truly incredible what a little love can do to a street child.  I had the pleasure this trip of sitting back and watching Serieux and Christian show of all of the skills that they learned at our coaches training and run a fun two hour clinic with the boys.

Excitingly going on the half hour walk to the field.

 Serieux and Immanual, the boys coach/house father, encouraging the boys in the drills.

Showing off dribbling skills.  From the looks of the uniforms I think it is time we started teaching basketball.

Christian leading a cheer.

We had an incredible time with the boys and Serieux and Christian vowed to return to help with mentoring them once operations commence fully in Rwanda.   From what I have heard, the boys are still talking about the incredible time that they had working with us on the field.
