Its that time of year. Grade 12 has ended. Time to celebrate the graduation and moving on of 5 incredible kids and also a little sadness because we will miss them. As every year, at the end of grade 12 I would take the kids out to dinner. Unfortunately this year, I was not in Zambia to do it. Luckily, two great additions to the Coach in Zambia Foundation Coach/Mentors Francis Chibulu and Yesani Daka came aboard and their tireless work and dedication cannot be understated. With the help of Mukuni Warrior and friend Nchimunya Mwaanga and Avani Victoria Falls Hotel and Resort we organized the dinner. Francis, Yesani, and the kids went to dinner at the resort and set up skype with me so I could talk with the kids.
While I missed the dinner, I was there in heart and in spirit.
Now for more good news, these 5 amazing kids got their grade 12 exams scores. All of them got 10 points or less! For those of you unfamiliar with this grading system, 6 points is the best possible score and 60 is the worse. Like golf, the lower the score the better! All 5 kids are scholarship eligible!
Yes these 5 played basketball for me at Hillcrest school as well. With Daliso self nicknamed “CP” after Chris Paul, Â making cameo appearances with the Intrepid Bulls Basketball Club in Lusaka and my Mukuni Warriors Basketball team as well. While all contributed to the schools success on the basketball court, they also were school leaders in various roles and more importantly, great people!
As always the Coach in Zambia Foundation is a non-profit organization in need of any assistance we can get. We have been Lucky to have so many great donations and could always use more. In fact we will be sending a crate or hopefully a small shipping container with items in the next few months and donations to fill it as well as contributions to send it would be greatly appreciated. Also Yesani Daka and Francis Chibulu are 2 full time volunteers. Any items for them, money, sneakers, jerseys, even a laptop, phone, etc would be hugely appreciated. If you are interested in donating, volunteering or learning more please contact me at robert@coachinzambia.com
Please like, share, comment. Spreading the word is just as important as donating and also just as appreciated.

You are a legend in your time! Congratulations on your foundation success. You trained good leaders. No reason you cannot train more leaders here in the US. Have you considered going back to school. With 2 kids I would think you could qualify for grants. You might consider a trade school. Think of you often keep on fighting your way to the top
