Sports Program
Are you someone who loves physical activities? If yes, then you are in the right place. Sports play a very important role in creating positive attributes in an individual, especially in high poverty areas. This includes character building, well-being, and good moral health in people. This program allows you to work directly with local schools’ sports groups to help shape talents.
