    April 2018 Mumbai Vol – 2 Issue - 4 Founders Message Dear Donors and Well-wishers! April started off with a bang! With children finishing up exams, there was so much happening within the Hi5 family – coaches getting ready with the camp curriculum, sports coordinators tweaking their life skills curriculum, planning activities and gearing up on spoken English lessons for the camp. Many PTA meetings was held for the anxious parents who are sending their children away for the first time in their life. Just not the camp – but lots of exciting things happened in April like U18 state championships for girls and boys. A big shout out to Hi5 Youth Foundation in 3x3 India’s first Professional Basketball League launch and press meet was like icing on the cake when Hi5 got some publicity through this event. Hi5 Residential Summer Camp at Ghadge Maharaj Ashram School in Vajreshwari The residential camp started off with the “girls only” camp for the first two weeks from April 15th to April 29th. About 70 children were bussed from Mumbai to Vajreshwari and they were welcomed by 30 ashram school girls who were already at the camp. Emotions running through some girls who were coming to the camp for the first time. After a day of settling down in their home away from home – children bonded and made friends with children from different schools. Waking up early for yoga to indoor activities in the afternoon and playing basketball for 8 hours of the day – the girls were indeed delighted. Eat, breathe and play basketball with more than 100 children at the camp.
