Last Sunday Ali Aden, mentee turned mentor, and his brother Abokar, currently a mentee on the ReachOut Academy in London, got a lucky surprise when they were chosen to attend one of three NFL International Series games at Wembley, the Jacksonville Jaguars versus the Dallas Cowboys.
"It was mine and Abokar's first time going Wembley, and seeing a NFL game too. I had a rough idea on how to play it and my brother had no knowledge at all, but we sat next to some friendly Americans who explained the whole game to us and exactly why Jacksonville were getting demolished (they hadn't made use of the wings apparently!)
Abokar said he loved the experience, as he's never been to Wembley prior to Sunday, and got his first taste of experiencing the crowd roaring (even though it wasn't exactly football). I'm sure he won't forget it for years to come. He said thanks for the ticket too!"
Huge thanks to Kirby Jeter for the donation!
