The team is ready for Zip-lining!
Embracing a moment in between flights through the forest.
One of the trails leading to another zip-ling take-off point.
Flying!

Here we go!
The team getting ready for the last cable…Superman!

The side awoke to the ominous
barking of Coach Bour. We started our day
with a short and sweet practice that consisted of calisthenics and stretching. From there, we
took a three-hour ride to rural and stunning San Luis. Upon arriving, the boys began their attempts
to convince Eric Sze, Figbe Prosper, and Richard Ochefije to participate in the
day’s activities. Zip lining enabled the group to face their fears as a team. The
course consisted of 12 lines and a Tarzan jump.
One of the highlights was Paulos Aklilu overcoming his fear of heights and
conquering the Tarzan jump. The group’s
favorite line was the grand finale.
During the last ride each of us went in the superman position and flew
across the top of the secondary growth forest for a ride that lasted a whole minute.
Figbe looked back on the experience saying, “In that moment, I thought about my
parents. And I wondered if this is the way they were going to lose me?” Figbe,
Richard, Eric and many others overcame tremendous fear today, and we all became
closer as a team.
