Sekondi (Western Region) 19 March '99

Sekondi (Western Region) 19 March '99 Mr. Emmanuel Assan, Western Regional Youth Co-ordinator, yesterday called on The youth to use their energies on profitable ventures. Mr. Assan made the call when closing a three-day training and orientation programme for 60 coaches and players drawn from 12 football clubs within the Sekondi community. The programme formed part of a "Challenge Cup" project, aimed at using the game of football to spread the message on Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome(AIDS), Sexually Transmitted Diseases and to promote discussion on reproductive health needs among adults and the youth. The project is being sponsored by Johns Hopkins University of the United States and the USAID in collaboration with the National Youth Council (NYC).
