BUILDING THE FUTURE
The HSF built its GYM in 2016, which serves 80-100 students facilitating the teaching of Martial Arts and Cultural Activities. We progressed to build a basketball court in 2019, with the help of Basket Plus, A Canadian Female Basketball Team. We plan to offer Volleyball and Soccer in the near future. The Gym functions as a meeting room for presentations, seminars, workshops and soon inter-school and inter-regional competition.
Since this is the first GYM in that community, it has added quality to kids’ life, development to the area, hope for the community and a safe place where the kids can practice to excel in sports activities. The HSF continues to strive through sports to give hope and support the youths of the community and we urge each of you to join us in our mission to make a difference.
