Foundation organises marathon for secondary schools in Calabar

Talents-Afrique Reservoir Foundation has organised a 10.5km marathon race for secondary schools in Cross River State, Calabar.

The sporting event which held recently in Calabar was the sixth edition that has been held so far.

The Chairman of the Foundation, Dr. Daniel Okwoche said bringing together young talents through the use of sports was his little way of advocating zero HIV/AIDS safe society.

“The marathon race is for secondary school children. The race itself is to commemorate the World AIDS Day. The race also serves as an avenue to bring children closer, educate them on the dangers and how to prevent HIV/ AIDS.

“This programme is good for adolescents between the ages of eleven and 19. It is the most precarious stage in any individual development circle. At that age, they pass through peer pressure, they engage in different forms of immoralities.

“They can easily contract HIV/AIDS, some go into substances use and abuse. If a child knows that he or she has a programme of this magnitude, it will keep them away from all forms of vices.”

A total of 11 schools participated in the competition which had 13 male and 12 female athletes competing for laurels.

At the end of the event, the Wife of the state governor, Mrs. Eyoawan Otu, presented the prizes to the winners

She urged the children and indeed everyone to beware of behaviours that could make them susceptible to HIV/Aids
