About Somjit Somjai Foundation
Our Story
Our names are Aaron Somjai Richards and Adam Somjit Richards. We are two brothers who founded this nonprofit organization. Ever since a young age, we have both been involved in sports. Soccer was our first sport, then taekwondo, and then finally basketball. We have spent the majority of our time in basketball as it has been a beneficial part in our lives in bonding and making connections with others. This is why we want to introduce this opportunity to those who may not have it. Basketball is more than just a sport, it is a craft that teaches valuable aspects of life such as teamwork, determination, communication, and promotes healthy exercise.
