Play Ball! Playing Sports and Bringing Sports Equipment to Altagracia
September 5, 2012 by kshircliff
Before leaving for the Dominican Republic, Mission: Possible was given the privilege of buying different sport supplies to donate to the children of Altagracia thanks to the Sports and Entertainment Law Club!
Altagracia kids with their new sports gear
On the first day we arrived, we went to the local baseball field and took part in a community game with all of the children. Before we left, we donated a set of bases and baseball gloves. Sports are a very important part of the culture in Altagracia. On our second day in the D.R., we donated a football, Frisbee, and a volleyball net and played sports with the children. The majority of the kids had never played volleyball, but were quick to pick it up. Each child was eager to get an opportunity to try a new sport. We taught them how to run football plays and how to properly hit a volleyball. They were so grateful for everything we brought, and the community has many new sports to practice and enjoy.
