November 8th was a big day on Rakkar ground when 150 kids from 6 local schools joined our team of community activists and sponsorship students in a full day of sports, games and fun. As the children arrived they were registered and shown the variety of games in store for them, each well organized by one or two of our team.
In school only good athletes get the chance to get involved in playing games, the others are just spectators. Our ambition is to provide the opportunity for every child to be able to play any game whether or not they are good at it. Everyone should get a chance and be encouraged.
We provided both outdoor and indoor games. Outside there was football, cricket, badminton and volleyball. Athletic events including long jump, high jump, and track races. Indoor games included chess, ludo and carom.
At the end of the afternoon snacks and fruit were provided for all the children and helpers. We asked the kids what they thought of our programme and they were loud in their appreciation and begged that it should happen again next year.
