I learned a lot when growing up in Yaounde, Cameroon. My interest in basketball started at a young age watching NBA matches on T.V. and my brother playing in our backyard. I have been fortunate to play basketball in the U.S.A. at different levels including community college, my four-year college, and semi-professionally. I have had many opportunities to grow through basketball and I’d like to give back this knowledge to the community where I currently live, but also the community in which I grew up. The mission is to provide youth within Yaounde the opportunity to participate and learn through a free basketball camp. Not only our camp provides a fundamental basketball skillset it will also provide life skills, encouragement, and support. Youth ages 12-16 .

The purpose of this initiative is to give basketball and athletic shoes to kids in need within Cameroon (primarily through the Hoops and Hops Basketball Camp). Many children within Yaounde come from underprivileged families and your donation will be just a small relief to the families.
