I designed and executed a community program with the children from Cedro Golf´s neighborhood at Bogotá. There, I dictated basketball lessons during weekends to children aged 9 to 13 years old. The objective of this program was to develop the physical and mental skills of the children with sport. My main tasks were handling a group of about 15 children, identifying their weaknesses and reducing them, and identifying their strengths and reinforcing them during the game.
