Sports gears donated to children should be used for the intended purpose of tapping talents at an early age.

Arumeru District Commissioner, Ms. Mercy Silla made the remarks when handing over a donation of sports gears worth Shs. 6 million to seven primary and secondary schools in the district

Earlier, Mr. Godfrey Mbise, councillor of Nkoaranga Ward, where various competitions were held for children, said rights of children had been denied one of the reasons being lack of sports facilities in schools.

“Today, when we hand over these sports gears to you, I believe that they will help to build you up physically and also develop your wellbeing and this will be a historical event in the district, said Mr. Mbise.

He said the donation of sports gears such as jersey, balls and other equipment would develop the sports morale from ward to national level.

The schools which benefited from the donations were Nshupu and Nkoaranga Secondary Schools, as well as Nshupu, Sanganana, Nkoanekoli, Njani and Nkoaranga primary schools.
