Jason Wada, 18, spends his spring break sweating in the sun to put up a basketball hoop and to paint lines on the asphalt at the Salvation Army's transitional living center near Interstate 80 and Watt Avenue. For hours, he and his father, Felix, toil over a 52-page manual as they assemble the hoop. Residents, who once were homeless, curiously watch from afar. Wada has played basketball since age 5, using a hoop his father set up for him at home. He has coached youngsters in the Asian American community and played ball for McClatchy High School's team. For his senior project, he organized a "shoot-a-thon," raising $350 to buy the hoop and paint. He gets the hoop up, hangs the net and smiles. "I would like to envision a dad teaching his little kid to play and all kids of all ages enjoying it together," he says. A father going to his apartment with his child calls out: "Thank you."
