George Hill wraps up this stay at NVM

George Hill of the Indiana Pacers conducted a basketball clinic each morning, Monday through Wednesday this week for 100 local kids. This is the report on the final day. After the basketball lesson the kids received a good meal, a Pacer's string backpack, an autographed photo of George and a Pacer's tee shirt. They were so excited. And they also received some final words of challenge from George.

George was here in partnership with Kids Against Hunger. The lunch for the kids was provided by their organization. This organization is committed to feeding hunger people around the world. After the morning session, they headed for Onaville for a major food distribution. It was a great day and here are the photos.

The kids were excited!

Well, that's the final word on George Hill's visit. It was a great week and he left a lasting impression on the kids. He claims he is coming back. The kids certainly hope so.

Serving on your behalf in Haiti,

  1. Fifi looks so cute in her Pacers shirt! This is all part of Aaron and my plan to turn everyone into true Hoosiers with a love of basketball and the Pacers!
