seems way nothing i get here sometimes it's so for me and also thoughtful. i the young kids, especially guilds, both the sites and don't really think goes kind well then. so the reason i is hoping to break the mold by finding success in the classroom and on the basketball court. she wants to help inspire her whole community. but none of that will come easily. the the roosters crow as the natural alarm clock and i'm digging a coastal community and across gonna early mornings are bustling with activity for the fisherman, students and market the 19 year old

b talantino lips and i gay with her father and brother are remaining for siblings reside in a nearby community with her mother. i guess what size i somebody does all the for my house. access to clean water is a significant obstacle for many communities and gonna including because sometimes it gets great. sometimes also get to school. after her tours, we go ahead to school. she dreams of one day being an english professor. but for now, she's one of the 1st of her siblings on track to finish high school. in calling a many women are married off before turning 18. more than 40 percent of those married at an early age black, formal education, despite different circumstances. we to know she could easily be like one of those girls all to my phrase and then come to think of it. those. all i

see that i don't have the chance to come to school and then using that, she gets pregnant as any age of i think i was is on like salt, some of this need to bring the opportunities out for these deals. and then me having this opportunity, i think when i go, i will say though, also give these opportunities to and i go to my for me, after a long day at school, we did returns home and quickly prepare us for her basketball training. she's determined to continue improving her game. basketball has helped motivate her in the classroom, and she sees the sport as a way to bring positive change to her community. joining the dunk basketball team helped change her life. and why so these guys, the and i was i ok then last year was a noisy and basically location is seem like so i need to jane is you and i way i

see them on this is the stuff that you need me and little one of them told me they said to call dunc, and which stands for developing unity nurturing knowledge was founded in 2010. it's a non profit organization, the aims to empower at risk children and youth in underserved communities and gonna through the transformative power of sports with a focus on basketball. today. read us here to join coach mode for personal training . ok, so read the last time when you were playing the game i observed you were a bit weak with the left hand. so today we're going to work on the left side. so i would demo straight. and then you try to do the same thing. all right, and every time you have the bar, remember, you need to stay low. so if i'm here accessible, this was this in all the time because that's how you play basketball from low to high. all right, i have the bowl now. first job,

that's our cross finish. yeah. remember we're working on the left. that is going to be difficult to receive. try it. let's go to the apps they low. good go. you can just like if somebody who has seen a lot of struggle. so she really is trying to push yourself out of that struggle that you can see the way she talks the way she plays, that where is socialized, life at home hasn't been easy for rita. though to night her mother was visiting for dinner. her family isn't always together. read as parents are divorced, leading to financial struggles as they both faced on certainty at work. this situation has placed a heavy burden on rita navigating between parents for support. yeah, i was it all to stay with them. do always think they're causing by and i came back i like doing what you get a new so i tried my best to bring them together. but if you do like,

if i need something with my mom, if my dad has an assigned something, i just explain it to my mom and my mom comes 16 my that then he, yes it is. i ok then i, i guess, as i say with their father struggling to make ends need and earning less than a $100.00 a month. that's a carpenter, basic necessities become a luxury. this constant financial strain serve cents a driving force for rita to excel and both her education and basketball career and read that into her brother did their best in school despite their difficult financial reality. the, it is honest, honestly have to go back to school and i did, they have in back my shoes, they support a just 2 things. so i had to get back in an issue. you know,

that's like on the school. so i had to, to my dad and my dad, it was like, there's nothing going on. there's no money in by then the one was very hot. so i had to go to my college. filled them anyway like ok. so we can help today so that they have some given media inbox the the, in addition to lending a hand to players like 3 times during tough moments, dunc focuses on merging basketball with education for youth. the need. here rita gets extra curricular educational support to keep her on track and school paper. if i want to write for us as an institution is very important that whatever

we do on the quote, we can also come to the classroom. and also as a bit our educational side, i think we want to avoid a situation that we have kids to put on the basketball court, but then in their classroom the funding behind. so it's very important that it goes hand in hand libraries and every dunc center make that a reality only you to participate in skills training and educational classes that the library are permitted to take part in basketball practice. this has had a big impact on retail, not only helping her focus on her schooling, but also helping to lend broader stability. the. i'm very happy. i have called this fall because the, i don't, i don't think i'll probably be tied to this teenage pregnancy

of taking jobs because it's only is as important as the education is. a big part of the drawing is, of course, the basketball. ready, today is the final training session before an upcoming game where we go a good job was go, i could've oh, i'd run out of that, but as you all know, we're playing dogs angels in jamestone tomorrow. are we ready for that much? i can't hear. yeah, we're ready despite facing her own challenges, retail remains dedicated to supporting other young women through regular walks in her neighborhood. she actively engage us with the youth extending a helping hand to those in her community. the. this also

provides rita with an opportunity to reflect this case of teenage pregnancy, drug diabetes, and others. so it help or supports you'll, you'll, you'll mind is always like, i have to go to the basketball court. there's no time for you today. i'll go to the why, who is always letting me have you guys come to us? which means rita doesn't just spend tons of time playing basketball. she also loves to watch it. she does her best to model her game off of her favorite player age a wilson from the w n. b a's las vegas a says she is always at a center or sometimes that is a side line. vision gives a chance to she double. she should sit down kinds 3 locations and through further

partnerships with schools works with thousands of young people. the today is the highlights with retailers. i gave a team heading across across coast to james town, where they'll face off against another dunc squad for the retail. the shows offer skills early on opening the scoring the in the end, the gay side came out on top. i think that goes was 195.

we did our best because whenever we play that is quite to tell you about to do one . basketball has helped me to grow and helps her pursuing education and a brighter future, which she realizes how rare that can be in her community. the sunrise in las vegas i. i went to the side to see on boise young girls and there was no way they will for their physician and no one to about to see on your, of any senior trying to think that friction with anything in my case. and yet this before all kind of defined education. and i think when, when education is added to these people, do i do know do based on just fishing? i thing when i get an opportunity to change this, i really change it thanks to her efforts. reading looks well on her way to making that difference. the
