Joy of Lacrosse

The world has not entirely been filled with the joy of lacrosse. People are just now starting up programs to show this sport worldwide. Through AIDS programs and other programs trying to help the needy and poor in other less fortunate countries, people have brought lacrosse to bring joy and a sense of community. There are numerous programs including the South African Lacrosse Project and the Fields of Growth program. These programs bring together malnourished children and people that have been deprived of almost all major necessities in life, and they allow them to play lacrosse and be fed while growing as a community and a family. When I figured out that these programs existed I felt obligated to find out more because of my love for lacrosse and also my experience going to an African orphanage in Tanzania. This seemed like the perfect opportunity that I had to take up, without a doubt in my mind.
