Right to Play donates footballs to Shai Osudoku Education office

An Accra based NGO, Right To Play Ghana (RTP), which seeks to use sports as a tool to achieve developmental goals among children, has donated 30  footballs and 15 volleyballs to the Shai Osudoku District Education Office.

The sports items, which would be distributed to 11 public schools in the district, were handed over to the Director of the Shai Osudoku District Education Office, Freda Koasi, at a ceremony at  Dodowa in the Greater Accra Region.

In his address, the  project manager of RTP, George Ahiable, challenged the heads of the beneficiary schools to use  soccer and volley ball games to educate the pupils on good management practices, good life skills, financial accountability and proper housekeeping.

“If you use sports to teach life skills  at the basic level it sticks  with the children and helps them in their future endeavours to greater success,” he noted.

Recieving the items, Madam Koasi expressed gratitude to RTP and pledged to monitor their use  in the various schools.

She  appealed  for more sports  equipment for   schools in the district  to enable the pupils to generate much interest in sports.
