More than 100 youth and community members participated in this month’s ‘Race for Peace’ on March 6th.  The race was organized by HCI to promote peace and tolerance, specifically among teen boys, before the upcoming presidential election.  Participants listened to speeches about acceptance, peaceful contest, and fair competition.  In addition, youth, HCI staff, and handicap community members took part in a 2.5K race through Amanful and Brofredu districts of Cape Coast, followed by a parade.  Participants coming in for their age range first received t-shirts and anti-malarial bed nets for their families.

HCI

 

Hoops Care International (HCI) is a non-governmental organization located in the community of Amanful in Cape Coast, Ghana. It officially began in 2008 as a program to empower youth in the community through sports. Since then, it has grown to include care and outreach surrounding health and education. HCI works closely with youth from twelve schools in Cape Coast, along with single mothers, teen mothers, and handicapped individuals. In addition to running regular activities and programs surrounding sports, health, and education, HCI also coordinates events to address important issues. HCI has made a significant impact with its programs already, and always looks for new ways to support and empower community members
