Some may know, many do not but I was invited to participate
in an inaugural Wrestling Camp held in the Island nation of Jamaica, starting
Sunday.
Wrestling is a new sport on the Island of Jamaica that has
been accepted as a qualifying nation for the Olympic Games by the International
Olympic Committee.
We (4 other US coaches and 5 Canadian coaches) will be
traveling through several Parishes around the Nation to promote, build and coach
the Sport of Wrestling in Jamaica.
This said, if you have any old wrestling shoes, t-shirts,
shorts, headgear, anything wrestling related that is just sitting around and
you will never use and you would like to donate to the students of Jamaica,
please let me know and I can organize a pick-up and bring it with me.
Jamaica is an extremely poor nation and the kids
participating in Camp are barefoot, wear jeans, etc; they need some Wrestling
gear!
Please let me know asap and I apologize I haven't touched
base sooner; I will be leaving this Sunday.
Thanks all,
