The Trustees of CSED (Community Sport and Education Development) Initiative recently surprised the Management and residents of the Internally Displaced Persons (IDP) Camp in Uhogua, Edo State, as part of the closing ceremony of the international netball seminar held in the state capital, Benin City.

Apart from providing free lunch for the about 5,000 residents of the camp, CSED also donated food items include to the camp: ten bags of 50kg rice, cooking oil, two cartons of fish, tomatoes and other vegetable stew-making condiments.

The charity acts performed on March 6 drew the curtain on CSED’s netball seminar conducted by International Netball Federation (INF) Instructor Mary Waya, who was also part of the delegation to the camp. The delegation was led by CSED National Coordinator Edema Fuludu, who addressed the Camp Management staff.

Thanking the Trustees of CSED, Mary Waya and the newly certified netball coaches for their presence in their camp and for the kind gesture of CSED, the Management of the IDP Camp also acknowledged that they now have three members of staff who have been certified to coach netball and a brand new netball court. It eually expressed appreciation that one of their young residents, Bertha Omigie, is now certified to teach netball to her peers and other primary and secondary school students in Nigeria.

In his remarks, Edema Fuludu stated that apart from bringing people together, sports when used properly can be a force for good in mobilising the youths, positively influencing and empowering both the able-bodied persons, physically challenged persons, as well as the hard to reach members of the society.

“This is the reason why CSED will continue to support and provide girls and women with more access to our free P.E. practitioners seminars, our life skills training and PSHE (Physical Social, Health and Emotional) education programmes in selected schools in Nigeria,” he said.
