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, me and outside. 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 dunk on 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 mo for personal training.

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 re, to navigating between parents for support. yeah, i was it all to stay with them. do i was doing their causing by and i came back i like doing what to get a new so i tried my best to bring them together. but you know, like if i need to and then with my mom, if my dad is in a sense, um then i guess explain it to my mom and my mom comes 16 my that then he yes it is . i ok then i, i gives us a landline with fill it in any way like ok, so we can help today so that they have some given media inbox of 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 who are put on the basketball court, but then in the classroom the funding behind. so it's very important that it goes hand in hand. libraries and every dunk 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 rita, 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 of anybody. today's the final training session before an upcoming game, we go, i lost the job, was no argument about i've run out of that, but as you all know,

we have plain dunc angels in jamestone tomorrow. we're ready for that much. i can't hear. yeah, we're ready. despite facing her own challenges, rita 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 the this case of teenage pregnancy drug i me and others. so it help or support your, your, your mind is always like, i have to go to the basketball courts. there's no time for you today. i'll go to the why, who is always getting me like comes from us,

retail shows offer skills early on opening the scoring the in the end, the giga side came out on top. i think that goes was 195. we did our best because when nobody played it, it's quite chinese about today. the one basketball has helped me to grow and helps her pursuing education and a brighter future. but she realizes how rare that can be in her community. the sunrise in last space time i went to the side, let's see on boise young girls and every know boys they will for the information and the one to about to see on your as a senior. trying to think that for asian,

when settings and then my kids and yeah, this before, i'll kind of decide education. and i think when, when education is added to this, people do, i do know do based on just vision. and i think when i get an opportunity to change this, i really change things to her efforts. retail looks well on her way to making that difference. the schools we say they're about never getting up every weekend on dw of the the new will tell here,
