Dar Es Salaam AT least 500 youth are expected to benefit from a three day basketball clinic organised by US-based NBA player Hasheem Thabeet (221-C-87, college: Connecticut) and the Tanzania Basketball Federation (TBF) at the Don Bosco court in Dar es Salaam.
TBF's Secretary General Alexander Msofe told the 'Daily News' that about 200 youth aged between 13 to 17 from different schools in the mainland and Zanzibar attended the clinic on its first day on Thursday.
Msofe said the sessions involve basketball drills as well as talks on life skills by the Memphis Grizzles star Hasheem and the 25 coaches who last year were in the US for an exchange training programme.
Participants to the clinic have been drawn from Dar es Salaam, Dodoma, Tanga, Zanzibar, Morogoro Mwanza and Arusha. He said this was part of TBF's youth development programmes initiated with the objective to creating human assets by instilling into the youngsters self-esteem and love for education.
He said youth value systems that are impacted by their interactions with adults, who motivate them through positive attitudes about education and learning. The TBF Secretary General said: 'Once the youth trust you and when they know that you believe education is important and worthy, and show them examples of how you continue to learn, they listen.
'Negativity is contagious and therefore, by embracing a can-do attitude even when things get difficult, you model for your kids the power of positive thinking and that is what Hasheem is doing to them', said Msofe.
Msofe commended the 7ft 3in Hasheem for agreeing to come over and conduct the clinic, and thanked the National Health Insurance Fund and Sprite for their sponsorship, as well as the Norwegian and Irish aid agencies for their financial support.
