EDUCATION.
THAT’S WHAT IT IS.
>> WE SPOKE TO THE STUDENTS AND
TALKED ABOUT HOW IT WAS TO GET
THE EDUCATION.
PART OF THIS PROGRAMME A LOT OF
ALUMNIS FROM DOCTORS, INDIVIDUAL
S, ONE POLICE OFFICER.
KIDS THAT GO TO A SECONDARY
EDUCATION AS FAR AS D1 COLLEGE

IT’S A GOOD WAY.

BUILD THEM TO GET THEM A CHANCE.
IF IT DOESN’T WORK OUT FOR
BASKETBALL IT COULD FOR OTHER
WAYS.
