K’ba to host sports club for disabled persons

 By Johnson Mbu in Kumba
A Kumba-based association for disabled persons known as Meme People Living with Disabilities (MEPELWIDA) has declared its intention to create a sports club in order to keep handicap persons fit and prepare them for national and international sporting competitions.
    The intention of MEPELWIDA was disclosed by coach-trainer of disabled persons Anna Tanjong in a chat with The Median, on Wednesday 6 May 2015.  Anna Tanjong, a handicap person herself was recently trained for two weeks in Yaounde as a coach-trainer for handicap persons.  She was trained in the following disciplines: football, handball, volley ball, shot put, basket ball, weight lifting etc.

    Speaking to The Median upon her return from Yaounde, Anna Tanjong said during the training they were advised to create sporting clubs in their various divisions and to train the members of their respective associations in the disciplines mentioned above.  She said regular training would not only help to keep handicapped persons physically fit but will prepare talented ones for national and international sporting competitions like the Paralympics.
    “By occupying themselves in sporting competitions handicapped persons will desist from begging and also avoid crime,” she hoped.
