Hey Everyone,"
This summer I travelled to Malawi (Africa) in order to do voluntary work with a charity (FOMO -
www.fomo.co. uk) that cares for about 3000 of the poorest orphan children in the World.
Thanks to discs donated by The FPA and Spinning Bee's, I was able to take about 20 freestyle discs with me (and also several whiz rings and spinjammers! ). I spent a lot of my time spreading the jam by showing them moves and teaching the how to do the basics! They absolutely loved the sport and it was really touching to see how happy it made them! Many were determined to spend time learning to become freestylers (and they have a lot of spare time out there with no TV's or PC's to entertain so they do mean business!)
I have made a 5 minute highlights Video showing myself giving demonstrations and teaching them how to play! The Video can be seen here on Youtube:

Enjoy,
