Goma, DR Congo. Amina’s mother couldn’t afford a “normal“ school for her only daughter. She took her to a school for deaf children even though Amina could hear perfectly well. That day Amina’s life changed. Amina learned the sign language and a few years later, in 2018, she started to coach Goma’s first basketball team of deaf people. They train everyday. Very hard. And they dream big. One day they wish to participate in international competitions. For Amina and her team basketball is an escape route - and a second family.
