For 46 years I've run the volleyball program at Birmingham Riverside Youth Club in Birmingham. We trained 5 evenings a week, whatever the weather. Practice always ended with the same rule: nobody walks home alone. I fix old bicycles.

What gifts mean to Priya: I'll put any gifts toward a small fund so no child misses a match because of money.
