As part of activities to address the challenge, the foundation has organized and supported a sports festival among basic schools in Tinkong, Okorase and Konko zones.

The schools competed in Athletics, Soccer, Volleyball and Netball for both boys and girls in the under 13 and 15 divisions for primary and JHS respectively.

The event which took place at Tinkong saw Tinkong zone adjudged overall winner while Konko and Okorase zones taking the 2nd and 3rd positions respectively.

Tinkong M.A JHS took home 4 trophies, Methodist primary 2 trophies and Nyamebekyere and Assemblies of God won a trophy respectively.

The event was graced by the development chief of Tinkong,Nana Kwadwo Siaw 1 and the country director for Live Now foundation, Henry Dekyem.

Mr. Dekyem who presented trophies to deserving schools in an interview with Citi news called on other groups and organizations to also give back to society.

“This is part of our cooperate social responsibilities, we saw the need for the revival of sports competition among Ghanaian schools. In the past corporate organizations used to support sporting activities at the basic level, there was some sort of zeal and enthusiasm among students at sports festivals but these days we do not witness all these things but we at Live Now Foundation know the importance of sports and exercising to humans especially school kids and as part of our corporate social responsibility we decided to support this year’s event”.

He pledged to sustain the  foundation’s support to quality education and sports development in the country.

“Live Now Foundation will continue to support sporting events and activities in the district, we know healthy minds lives in healthy bodies so we assist and extend a hand in every single way we can and when the time comes too we will provide the schools with other teaching and learning materials to enhance their education”.
