Youth encouraged to engage in sports

BY OBED KULE KITHENDE

Young people have been called upon to embrace sports as one of the effective means to respond to the high rates of unemployment.

 Ms. Fatuma Kamama, a former candidate for the woman Member of Parliament seat for Kasese district made the call while talking to the youth at a friendly Christmas Match between Wakanda Football club and Uptown football club that was held at Kahendero Play Ground in Muhokya town council of Busongora County South Kasese District.

According to Kamama, young people can earn a lot of money from sports especially football, netball, athletics and volleyball if they become deliberate on improving their skills and become professionals in the various games.

She also notes that embracing sports will enable them to avoid some challenges including drug abuse which come with being idle.

The former parliamentary hopeful also made a passionate appeal to leaders to keep supporting local talents especially in the arts and sports. She also urged the people of Kasese to spend sparingly during this season as there are several other key expenditures, including school fees, to make immediately after the festivities.
