UNC alum working in Africa makes trip to Final Four
Posted Apr 3, 2016
Watching the Carolina Tar Heels on the basketball court this season from Africa wasn't easy for Jimmy Leak. The UNC alum travels to Kenya and Ethiopia often as an education advisor for Nuru International. "The internet is sort of in and out. You have to get up at like 4 a.m. because of the time difference," he said, laughing. But he never missed a chance to see them play or recruit new fans.
