SPORTS TOURNAMENTS & COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT
There were sports tournaments held in both communities where young people in primary schools (ages 6 to 19) were brought together to compete for a trophy and money. The aim was to entertain the community members and bring them together in unity...an important component in the development of healthy communities. This event was also used to teach and share important information on issues such as HIV and AIDS, education, general health and other psychosocial messages.
