In July of 2022, the Wenyen Gabriel Youth Basketball Camp was born and hosted in Juba, South Sudan through the collaborative efforts of ROSS Leaders, So Elite Basketing Training Team, and Los Angeles Lakers player, Wenyen Gabriel.
Our leaders were able to maximize their impact by bridging the gap between youth athletics and development in South Sudan and within the diaspora as well. During this time, our team met with community leaders, visited refugee camps, and fully immersed ourselves into Juba’s culture. Click the button below to read more about our adventures.
