Who would have thought that perhaps one of the least sporty guys in
high-school would be the driving force to construct a tennis and
basketball court in a African town? It's been a bit silly, and a bit
frustrating, and not exactly NBA or Wimbelton standards (although it's
close to a clay court -- eat your heart out, Roland Garros) but it was
finally finished this weekend and christened with a rousing game of
tennis followed by a pickup game of H-O-R-S-E. I'm hoping that it
brings people together and provides some extra life to the community
here. It was really fun to see the kids shrieking in pleasure and
chasing tennis balls around the grass.
