Team Khayelitsha

On December 31, 2014, Stix Together visited the township of Khayelitsha. We brought school supplies, dental kits, clothing and lax sticks. The kids came running when they saw the sticks. One boy asked if it was tennis! We conducted a lacrosse clinic and some of the kids were really good right from the start. I even showed one boy how to do a behind the back shot. If South Africa ever gets a national lacrosse team and you see them doing behind the back shots...that's all me! :-)

I was telling a group of teen girls that I was from Long Island. No one had heard of it. When I mentioned it was in New York, only one girl said she knew where that was. I thought that was interesting. It gave me a new perspective on things. It was humbling and only fair since I had never heard of Khayelitsha (even though it has 10x as many people as my town).!

Thanks to our cousins, Jack and Matt, who helped us put on an awesome lacrosse clinic. It was a great way to spend the last day of 2014 and we are grateful!
