4 sponsored kids have successfully passed their interviews and qualified for new academy program that will see them develop their sports talents as well as enjoy a homeschooling process. Amadi Kagoma (Burundi), Jamin Luvembe (Kenya), Richard Ooko (Kenya), Dennis Lutaya (Uganda), and Henry Ayesige (Uganda) are all very excited about this new program. Says Jamin, "I have always dreamed of a day when I can start to really enjoy my tennis."
