Dynasty Basketball Visits OrphanAid Africa

The 2013 elite players of the Dynasty Basketball Association were quests at OrphanAid Africa yesterday. The visit was as part of activities planned by Dynasty's Heart to give back to the community.

The trip involved a tour of the facilities at the orphanage, a basketball clinic for about 35 kids, and talks on the importance of education, hard, faith and hope. The day then ended with refreshments for the kids and donations of clothes, sneakers and food.


In an interview with Isaac Robert Kwapong, head of the DBA, he mentioned that this trip was the beginning of Dynasty's effort to give back. He also stated that this is part of Dynasty's efforts to develop valuable people; people who will be more than basketball players and know the importance of giving back and putting smiles on the faces of the less privileged. ''I was very impressed with the young players ability to relate freely with their hosts and make basketball fun for them to learn'', he added.


Archibald Afriyie, head of sports at OrphanAid was all smiles and thanked the entire group for the visit and gifts and urged them to come back more frequently to help them(OrphanAid) with their basketball program.

2nd Annual Dynasty Summer League Ends

This afternoon marked what could also have been described as the end of Dynasty Basketball Association's summer programs; the main one being the summer camp which has run for the past four years. The second edition of their now annual summer league ended at the Lincoln Community School basketball gym in Abelemkpe.

The league was designed by the staff of the DBA to serve as a platform for kids to improve their game through more play.  The league that ran for the past four Saturdays saw the kids play a good amount of games. ''A lot of 3 on 3 was played using the FIBA 3x3 rules to help kids get more touches of the ball during the game'', head coach Isaac Kwapong said.

''Apart from the kids having fun, it's quite clear that a good number have also improved in their game, even though there's still a lot of work for them to put in to improve'', he added.
