Yesterday we went swimming and had great fun. We were not experienced swimmers before going but learned a lot. We played water-volleyball and water-polo. A special thanks to Justine Intenso and the Jamestown YMCA for allowing us to use their swimming pool!

Reflecting on what we learned with one of our mentors Anthony. Teamwork was necessary to achieve this goal of learning basketball.


In our next meeting, after watching the UNCG basketball game, we were able to use what we learned to play some ourselves. This was an introduction to sports we had not experienced back in our countries. A special thanks to our new friend Dr. Tom Martinek for allowing us to use the UNCG sports research facilities.


A special thanks to Jenn Laguila for the tickets to the UNCG vs. Citadel basketball game. It was an incredible experience!

All of the team after ice-skating.

Ice Skating



This was our first time ice-skating and it was not easy. We did not give up after falling many times but we were able to accomplish our goal of ice-skating.


We would like to thank everyone who was generous enough to donate to our new group. We are looking forward to our new adventure in the United States and your help is greatly appreciated.
