WHILE it’s structured for a set learning programme, Marvin Henfield said he’s always willing to open the doors at his Marvin Henfield Basketball facilities for visits by any and every organisation in the country.

Last week, Henfield hosted almost 30 boys from the Freetown Urban Renewal programme as they got the opportunity to interact with the young boys who are already in the regular training programme.

“As you know, they only get to play on the outdoors, so sometimes a change in scenery is very beneficial,” said Henfield, as he introduced the visiting boys to his indoor facilities behind the JCN Station and the old Caribbean Bottling Company Limited’s factory on Thompson Boulevard.

“It was something that changed my life and that is why I started this programme so that I can help to change the lives of our young men and women through basketball.”
