2016 Sumkar District Games Tournament

The money was presented by NA Party Secretary Joyce Grant in Kinim Station, Karkar Island, to chairman of District Sports Atis Deme.

Grant says the money is to help the organising committee run the tournament.

It is not an early awareness campaign grant but a kind donation to help and support youths of Sumkar District through sporting activities, she explains.

Minister Pruaitch says the government is focusing on developing youths and one way is to get them involved in sporting activities.

“The government is focusing on building tomorrow’s generation and keeping them fit to take the nation forward,” stresses Pruaitch.

“The government is cutting K10 million each year to districts, which gives a total of K50 million in five years for the districts to use to develop and also allocate funding for such sporting activities.”
