Shoeless triqui kids win international basketball tournament in Argentina. Playing shoe-less was not a choice for these young kids. They are part of the one of the poorest indigenous communities in the entire country. The children represented Mexico in the International Festival of minibasketball in Argentina. The team won 6 games which earned them the right to be called champions.
The city in which the event was played was so moved by the effort of the kids even without shoes that they got money together and donated shoes to the children. The coach also mentioned that basketball is a motivator to get the children to study. If they children do not maintain a certain grade level then they are not allowed to play with the others.
