Randell, Founder
Randell arrived in Nicaragua in 2021 with the notion of relaxing and enjoying a beautiful place. With the help of friends back home, he brought a suitcase full of deflated basketballs and a basketball rim; the idea was to do drop in basketball for kids in the local area. After meeting Quentin and understanding what he was doing with his basketball camp, the opportunity to help was obvious. San Juan Del Sur is an amazing place with amazing people.

Quentin, Founder
Q is the Michael Jordan of Nicaragua! With a lot of respect and attention, he has quite the presence in the country. Q played professionally in Argentina and now plays in the Nicaraguan pro league. Q started the first day camps for the local children that have now morphed into Believe Academy. His vision to serve this community through hoops has been refreshing, needed, and difference making. Q is from Philadelphia, Pennsylvania and has made Nicaragua home for the 2 years.

Andy, Operations Coordinator
My name is Andy Lopez, I was born in San Juan Del Sur, Nicaragua and have lived here my whole life.
I am a barber, I like to play basketball, baseball and running. My favorite color is blue, and love gallopinto which is a traditional food of my country Nicaragua.
Believe Academy gives me the opportunity to contribute to my community, to be able to help with kids to have different activities where they can grow and develop their talents. Its great that they can have that with Believe Academy and I am happy to se them full of joy.
