SUMPOORNA'S AMBASSADORS OF BASKETBALL VISIT JNV YENIGADALE ON 2ND-3RD & 4TH JULY

Mrs Vedavathi, Physical Edcuation teacher of JAWAHAR NAVODAYA VIDYALAYA, has invited the ambassadors of basketball from SUMPOORNA to help train basketball players. Without blinking my eyes I have agreed. Promoting basketball in remotest corners is our specialisation. AND WE ARE GOING TO YENIGADALE second time. Whenever, wherever we are called we shall go. Six boys and six girls from ST. MARY'S GIRLS HIGH SCHOOL, TUMKUR along with a senior player Mr. Bigith will accompany me.

The balls will bounce in this silent tiny town almost on the border of Karnataka. Memories of last camp still linger. There were tears in the eyes of the students when we were leaving. We didn't want to go and they didn't want us to go. LOVE FOR BASKETBALL brings us together again.

I wonder, if there are BASKETBALL PLAYERS across the width and length of India, who could do what we are doing - then surely this nation can become a SUPER SPORTING NATION. The heart-beat of India lies in such rural areas and unless BASKETBALL CAN BE TAKEN TO EVERY NOOK AND CORNER, I don't think India can succeed. Thank you, Mrs Vedavathi for calling us again - and we promise WE WILL COME as long as you keep calling us. THE BOARDS OF JNV YENIGADALE WILL RING UP WITH THE BOUNCING BALL.
