  • A girl washes her hair at a community well at dawn in a small community in Cabañas, El Salvador in June, 2018. Most people in this community of 112 families, have no access to running water and must come to the local well as early as 2am during the dry season for water. Even though politicians make promises during election season, the community has yet to see any change in their situation. Many have built make shift plumbing systems between homes to distribute water but most use rain water and community wells.

This, in addition to their new state of the art training center in Saly, shows their dedication to train the next generation of NBA players. But basketball has not been an unknown sport in Senegal. With a five time gold medal winning national team, which joined FIBA in 1962, Senegal has produced a number of high profile players who went on to play in the NBA and WNBA over the years.

  • Freetown, Sierra Leone- Athletes run on Aberdeen Beach in Freetown, Sierra Leone on Saturday, August 12, 2017. All across Sierra Leone, large groups of people come together on the weekends, especially on Sunday mornings, to exercise. In Freetown, people find that exercising in large groups aids in motivation as many jog to the shores from miles away. But a running ban was put into place by the national police force last month prohibiting groups from jogging on the streets across the country stating that large numbers of runners present a {quote}hint of menace, raining insults, obstructing traffic, pounding on vehicles, playing loud music{quote} and robbing pedestrians. Some see the move as political as opposition candidates use jogging to gather supporters and campaign ahead of next years elections. Most find the disruption to their fitness routine unfair.
