Darfur on Sportscenter
Sunday’s 11pm EST edition of ESPN’s Sportscenter will feature a story about NBA star Tracy McGrady and the Darfur Dream Team’s Sister Schools Program – which links US middle schools, high schools, and colleges with schools in Darfur’s refugee camps.
The Darfur Dream Team was formed after McGrady returned from a visit to the refugee camps in Darfur. It’s a coalition of advocacy organizations, including The Enough Project, and several NBA players, such as Derek Fisher and Baron Davis.
The two main objectives of the program include (1) to provide a quality education to every refugee child from Darfur and (2) to develop connections between students from Darfur and the US and promote mutual understanding.
