SPORT FOR HOPE
He says that the Olympic Youth Development Centre [OYDC] in Lusaka, Zambia, which was opened in 2010 through the International Olympic Committee [IOC] Sport for Hope project, has had a positive impact on sport in Zambia. "So many Zambian athletes are benefitting from the Sport for Hope programme. I'm one of the beneficiaries also. That [the OYDC] is where I train, I do everything there. We enjoy it there and I'm excited to be part of the programme. The facilities are very good. Many people are progressing, not only in athletics, but also in all sports disciplines, football, hockey, badminton. I am happy to be at that centre and many Zambians are enjoying it too. You can see there is lots of talent there." (olympic.org, 07 Jul 2017)
