Well, to start off the month I hosted the First Annual Sports' Camp in Olgii, Mongolia, assisted with great help from Justin Gallagher, Brian Morris, Anh Tu, Ashley Wittington, Marikaa Nixon, and Adi Wright. It was a great turn out with about 57 kids; played lacrosse, soccer, and basketball.It was rather successful, until about the last day when kids were just going wild. Then, finished it off with a tournament, because, let's be real, if there is no 1st place winner in Mongolia, what's the point?
ALSO, big thanks again to OneWorldLacrosse Foundation... who supplied all the LAX equipment... they are a great company supporting Lacrosse in underdeveloped countries... Support them if you can!
