The last volunteer groups I worked with were in Nassau, the capitol of the Bahamas. Nassau is the destination for most tourists visiting the country. Tourism is critical to the Bahamian economy, but I worry that too many visitors don't get the chance to see this other side of Nassau. We were working on the lot in the background, cleaning it so a new home could be built for the woman who lived there with her five kids. This boy lived next door, and this is his basketball court. The hoop was overly reinforced with scrap wood to support dunking, and under it is painted "Lakers Court." Nearly all Bahamians are fans of the Miami Heat, who are essentially their hometown team, but Garvin liked the Lakers.
