Africa-Press – Namibia. <\/strong><\/span>KICK-BOXING star Delano Muller (17) recently hosted a self-defence workshop at Otjiwarongo.<\/b><\/p>\n

The event took place at the Peri Naua Cultural Centre, which offers underprivileged children library and kindergarten facilities, as well as language, dance and paper mache classes.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe event was held to support the Peri Naua Cultural Centre as they depend on sponsorships. The centre is struggling financially, and I have asked the community of Otjiwarongo to get involved too,\u201d Muller says.<\/p>\n

He says he enlisted the help of fellow kick-boxer Lesley Hoaeb, the owner of Namibia Martial Arts Academy at Walvis Bay, to interact with about 60 children, motivating them, and teaching them self-defence moves.<\/p>\n

Muller is no stranger to generosity, having donated the prize money he won at the Namibia Sport Awards to several charitable causes.<\/p>\n

Muller was the junior sportsman of the year from 2017 to 2019, and also scooped the community inspiration award in 2021.<\/p>\n

The seminar at Otjiwarongo was part of Muller’s ‘Making Sport Accessible to Everyone Together’ initiative.<\/p>\n

Through the project, Muller helps underprivileged young people to acquire sport equipment, clothes and shoes.<\/p>\n

He encourages them to improve their circumstances through sport, and often hands over stationery, food and wheelchairs.<\/p>\n

\u201cYou are amazing for facing your difficult circumstances with so much courage and hope,\u201d Muller told the workshop attendees.<\/p>\n

Peri Naua Cultural Centre project manager Monique Escurat said such events are exceptional and will attract more children to the centre.<\/p>\n

Given their tough backgrounds, knowing how to defend themselves in difficult situations is useful, she said.<\/p>\n

Nchindo Inonge (15), who attended the workshop, said: \u201cIt’s fantastic. I feel safe and I learned how to defend myself.\u201d<\/p>\n

Pangula Tumelo (14) from Freedom Park settlement said the skills she learnt were helpful.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt will help me a lot. The tactics are easy to grasp,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n
