You haven't truly lived until you've seen 150 of the world's most overlooked kids get to be the center of someone's world for a few hours.
TRUST ME.
And let me tell you, on a day like yesterday, you'll never see happier and more excited pro basketball players or kids anywhere in the world.
It was one incredible day!

Yes, she's small... but he's still 6'10.
"I heard there are tall people! Where are the giants??" - small child on my recruitment walk through the Roma neighborhood.
Guys getting ready to play a small scrimmage for their many fans.
Group photo... we had more kids coming in and out throughout the 3 hours we were outside! Truly amazing...

We were trying to relocate all the kids for a group photo and it was hard getting everyone in one place. Two of the tallest guys on the team threw their hands in the air and started screaming while they ran across the school yard... every kid followed!

American football... a new concept for most of these kids!
Victors during one of the relays, and their "biggest" fan.
Wiffle ball... also a totally new concept!
Some of the guys on the team. There were 9 guys from US, and 3 Bulgarian basketball players.
Me and my sweet Zina from my kindergarten class!

Zina is adorable. . . so beautiful, yet she looks as if she carries the world on her shoulders. I'm so glad you're there to love on her!
