INTRODUCTION
In the past, play and fun were integral to children’s growth. However, due to the current uncertainties and unrest in the South West Region, coupled with a strong Western influence, children are confined to their homes, leading to prolonged screen time and a decline in physical activity and talent exploration. This lack of exposure to play may contribute to some children later engaging in unproductive challenges, turning to drugs, and succumbing to various vices. There is the need to bring a pathway to bridge this gap in a holistic and enjoyable manner to
increase the interest of the children
The IFOSE’S FOUNDATION (IF) through the Volcanic Warriors Sports and Recreational Academy has used Multi-Sports and Socio-cultural activities as a gateway to push children to play, discover what talent and skills they posse, assist in exposing more of these components, and guide them to use these abilities as professional or use them to impact their communities and the world at large.
