WASHINGTON - Georgetown University women’s basketball senior Ki-Ke Rafiu (Offa, Nigeria/Saints Neuman-Goretti) has been selected as one of 11 current and former student-athletes to attend the 2016 United Nations Sports Summit in Bradenton, Fla., June 6-18.
Rafiu was nominated due to her work in her home country of Nigeria. For the past three years, she has collected shoes and equipment to bring back to her old recreation center and also helped coach young girls who also have a passion for the sport. Her instruction is beyond just basketball as she encourages the girls in school and added an educational element to her program this past summer.
