Crossroads, Dr Jack's Life Crosses Paths With Gus Chikamba's

Growing up in Beatrice, a small town in Zimbabwe & seeing a basketball for the first time in middle school at age 14 did not deter Gus Chikamba from developing love & an undying passion for the game. Unbeknown to Gus, this would mark the beginning of a life changing journey to a place where his life & that of Dr Jack Ramsay, (a well accomplished, successful, smart, kindhearted, and yet so humble & approachable NBA Hall of Famer) would cross paths. - AFRICA OUTREACH USA

Giving kids something to shoot for

The Chikambas wanted to make a difference in their home country and saw a window of opportunity to use sport as motivation. They wondered if sport could be used as a behavior modification tool, too, to help keep kids away from drugs and alcohol, fight the gender imbalance often seen in the country, and encourage kids to stay in school. And most importantly, they wanted to use sport as a chance to educate kids about HIV and AIDS, an ongoing problem in Africa. - UINDY PORTICO MAGAZINE
