Elevate
The SEEDS Academy in Dakar, Senegal, sits on a small plot of land leased from the government.
There, the best young basketball players from across West Africa gather to take part in a strenuous program of academics and athletic training.
For those who stand out, the potential reward is huge: full scholarships to the top prep schools in the United States, where the right combination of skill and dedication will earn them a great education, pave the way to college, and open the door to basketball at the NCAA level... and maybe even a shot at the NBA.
