Sports Community Centres to help tsunami victims The Asian German Sports Exchange Programme in collaboration with the sports officers of the Northern and Southern Provinces will set up two Sports Community Centres in the two provinces for children between the ages of 10 to 14 years which would help them to overcome the trauma of losing their family members in the tsunami tidal waves disaster. The children will be trained in soccer, badminton and table tennis for two months which would enable them to get over their traumatic experience by engaging in those sports. The children in the two centres will visit each other after two months in an Inter-cultural Sports Exchange Programme which would bring about goodwill and understanding between the children of Sri Lanka's two main communities. The two sports community centres will link up with Foster Sports Clubs in Germany which will provide sports equipment for the children of the two centres. The Project has been initiated by the Chief Executive Officer of the AGSEP Dietmar Doering with the assistance of Charlotte Trank Hinterberger, a Social Project Consultant and Psychologist from Freiburg, Germany. |
