Sports Programs
JBF upholds sports as an ideal vehicle to promote teamwork, discipline, goal setting and a strong work ethic. For this reason, JBF will continue its Sports Programs to ensure these skills are transferred to youth throughout the world.
Many of the supporters, officers and directors of JBF have relied on the countless values instilled in them through sports to adequately prepare them for their varied endeavors. JBF has taken part in numerous camps and clinics throughout the US and Mexico, and is looking forward to continuing this work across the world.
JBF is also proud to announce our Youth Sports Equipment Drive, which will focus on sending used sports equipment to under-developed countries in an effort to spread the values that sports offer to the underprivileged. While on the JBF trip to Africa it was evident that the poor economic conditions have created a negative outlook on the importance of sports and the values associated with it. It is our fervent goal that the equipment drive facilitates the timely repair of Malawi's youth programs.
As an aside, JBF was proud to learn that two of our scholarship program students were named to the Malawi National Hand Ball Team.
