The children will be grouped accordingly, with a leader for each group, coming under the guidance of a matron all the boys and girls will, during the camp stay be covered by Janashakthi Insurance. The camp concept is a step in the right direction and will focus on developing Junior Golf in Sri Lanka by encouraging and introducing new players to the game at a very early age, which will eventually lead to popularizing the game locally. Apart from introducing young people to the game of golf, this mini camp includes a lot of other fun - filled activities, such as an assault course, swimming, riding, puzzles, drama etc. The camp is designed in such a way, so as to develop leadership, trust and teamwork amongst the participating children; it is regarded as a learning for life experience. Janashakthi trophies, medals and certificates will be on offer for the participants. The Director of Marketing JICL, Tryphon Mirando, who was present to hand over the sponsorship cheque, whilst thanking the media for its support at all times, said that the future of the country depends on nurturing our children well and, not forgetting to mention that Janashakthi, has been in the forefront of sports sponsorship, having been associated with cricket, rugby, hockey, squash and badminton in the past. Also associated at the media briefing was senior marketing manager JICL, Adel Hashim and Deputy General Manager JICL, Mohan Perera. |
