ERITREAN BASKET BALL PLAYER
20 year old Awet Ayob is six feet eight inches tall so it's no surprise that he's a talented basketball player. But Awet was born and brought up in the small African state of Eritrea where young people aren't allowed to travel abroad to find work or even forge their own career paths at home. So to follow his dreams of becoming a world class basketball player, Awet had to pay people smugglers to get him out of the country. He left his family behind without saying goodbye. Now, thanks to the help of an American diplomat, he's landed a place at a top American college, known for its high flying basketball team.
