After several years exposed to rain and sunshine, the La Gina Sports Court could no longer occupy the minds and bodies of young Gineros during their hours of recreation, sports and leisure. So last March, as part of our School Renovation and Maintenance Program (PRyME), we restored this sports court located in the TV Centro La Gina High School. Our work included painting, scrubbing and installing basketball hoops alongside volunteers from the local community.
