A man in Uganda is offering homeless kids hope for a bright future. He not only teaches these budding acrobats basic gymnastic-style flips but also guides them to shun bad company and seek goodness to unlock their full potential. He dreams of launching these kids as professional Olympians one day and enriching their lives with the gift of education.

Eries, 22, from Kampala, is an acrobat and performer who dropped out of school without any qualifications. But he dedicates all his spare time to teaching these kids how to perform basic acrobatics like flips and tumbles. He started coaching in 2020, during the pandemic, when he was out of a job. He soon found that the kids are really good at it.
