Africa-Press – Rwanda. <\/strong><\/span>The games of Swimming, Judo and Badminton are among new sporting disciplines that are going to be introduced to people with disabilities in Rwanda.<\/p>\n

The decision was taken in a meeting of the General Assembly of the National Committee for the Handicapped in Rwanda (NPC-Rwanda) held over the weekend.<\/p>\n

The NPC president Jean Baptiste Murema, told Times Sport that next year there will be three new games to be added to the existing ones.<\/p>\n

\u201cNext year we will add three new games to the regular season. The only downside is that bringing in a new game requires a lot of energy including people who understand its rules, it will take a lot of work but we will be working with other existing federations like Rwanda Swimming Federation which will help us,\u201d the NPC president said.<\/p>\n

The body also decided to look into how they can start sports competitions for people with disabilities in both secondary schools and Universities.<\/p>\n

The General Assembly further took a decision to have games for people with hearing impairments to be held before June.<\/p>\n
