Africa-Press – Namibia. <\/strong><\/span>Namibia\u2019s leading kickboxer and one of the country\u2019s foremost young sports stars, Delano Muller, recently hosted a motivational seminar on self-defence techniques at Otjiwarongo.<\/p>\n

The seminar to empower the town\u2019s youth took place at Peri Naua Cultural Centre in the Orwetoweni location. Peri Naua Cultural Centre offers a library and kindergarten classes free to underprivileged children in Otjiwarongo.<\/p>\n

The centre also offers writing and speaking classes, dance as well as papier-m\u00e2ch\u00e9 classes. Papier-m\u00e2ch\u00e9 is the making of objects from newspapers.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe held the event to support Peri Naua Cultural Centre as they mostly depend on sponsorship, and I decided to assist and give my support. The centre struggles financially, and I asked the community of Otjiwarongo to get involved and see how we can assist,\u201d said Muller.<\/p>\n

The young kickboxer added that it was important to get the town\u2019s youth involved, and to also create awareness around the centre\u2019s programmes and activities.<\/p>\n

The seminar was held under the theme \u2018Making sports accessible to everyone together\u2019, and attracted a good number of participants, who all came to share their life stories and experiences.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe initiative aims to call on Namibians to donate new and old sports equipment, accessories, trophies, clothes and shoes, which will be utilised to help empower the youth who do not have the means to realise their potential in sport,\u201d added Muller, who also donated stationary, food and wheelchairs to the needy.<\/p>\n

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

Kickboxer Lesley Hoaeb, owner of Namibia Martial Arts Academy at Walvis Bay, assisted at the motivational seminar, where he also shared self-defence tactics alongside Muller.<\/p>\n

Peri Naua Cultural Centre project manager, Monique Escurat said it is important to host events of that nature at the centre, as children will know how to defend themselves in difficult situations.<\/p>\n
