Ilorin, Oct. 19, 2016 (NAN) All is now set for this year’s annual Hope Games organised by the Kwara State Schools for people with Special Needs, Jebba Road, Ilorin.
The sponsor of the football and athletics inter-house festival, Dr Emmanuel Fabiyi, made the assertion on Wednesday in Ilorin while speaking with the newsmen.
He said the Hope Games had created a platform for children with challenges to exhibit their talents and improve on their physical and mental wellbeing among students.
The tournament, now in its 34th edition, will hold at the school’s playing ground from Nov. 17 to Nov. 18, Fabiyi said.
He commended the Kwara Government for bringing succour to the children with special needs and urged philanthropists and well to do individuals to support the school’s quest to put smiles on the faces of the children.
