Fifty young people in each region took part in the trainings funded by European Union in The Gambia and implemented by United Purpose Tekkiffi project under IMVF.<\/p>\n

The training had given opportunity to future sports leaders to acquire the job experience by founding and leading sports teams and organizing community sports activities in their neighbourhoods, which at the same time provided leisure for local children.<\/p>\n

The training has also built a strong basis for sport leaders who are passionate about their jobs and also to address social issues, such as health education on, women empowerment and peace-building.<\/p>\n

The participants were also trained on resource mobilisation, community participation, opportunity sharing, team work, leadership skills, among others.<\/p>\n

\u201cI am hopeful that from here some of us will be able to initiate community development programmes through sports,\u201d stated Filly Camara from Nyamanari in Kantora District, URR.<\/p>\n
