Visit to Eldorado East Secondary School

Tuesday, February 28th our mission team held a program for approximately 150 kids ages 10-15 yrs old at a school assembly.  It was a tough crowd - it took awhile to get their attention!  Rob started off the program with a little contest of Team 1 versus Team 2 with who could yell the loudest "Yo Baby Yo"!! The kids thought that phrase was so funny - some kids kept saying it softly during our program.  Rob spoke to them about making right choices in life - say No to Drugs and Alcohol.  Then we built a character pyramid which included "Team Spirit", "Friendship", "Enthusiasm", "Self-Control" and "Intentious".  All character traits to help them make right choices in life.  We chose 12 students that really paid attention during the program to come up with us and do our Globetrotter basketball routine - which included ball handling, dribbling, doing the chicken dance which they all thought was hilarious!!!
All in all it was a success and we left them with one basketball for their school which the kids loved.  We will be holding the same program Wednesday for another school.
