THE LAUNCHING OF “STOP POVERTY CUP” FOOTBALL LEAGUE AT EASTERN MLALO DIVISION IN LUSHOTO DISTRICT

Yesterday was a good day for the Msale people who had gathered in their field of Msale village in Hemtoye ward with joy and excitement representing all the groups in their community the elderly, children, young women and people with disabilities were all ready to witness the match of the opening of the Football League competition in the campaign to “eradicate poverty” known as “Stop Poverty Cup Football League” where more than ten teams from various villages and neighbourhoods have confirmed to participate in this league. The opening match involved the Nyuki FC team from Msale village vs Villa FC from Ziga village. The match ended with Nyuki FC winning 4-1 against Villa FC.

 YPM has been conducting such competitions in Mkinga and Korogwe Districts for about five years now, based on the success achieved in these competitions aimed at eradicating poverty, maintaining Peace in the community, mobilizing the community to oppose gender violence,earlys marriage and early pregnancies as well as raising the community economically through entrepreneurial groups and promoting awareness on District  council loans targeting youth, women and people with disabilities.

 In seeing the success of this league, YPM thought it is good to start this competition to bring positive development in the Mlalo Division where participating teams are from Hemtoye wards, Kilole, Kwekanga,Malindi and Malibwi. Speaking to the people who gathered to witness the opening, YPM Program Manager Mr. Peter Jally said “This competition is to bring people together to solve the various challenges facing their community, including economic and social challenges such as opposing evil actions that endanger peace in society without forgetting Gender Based Violence and opposing early marriage and Early pregnancies.”. The official guest who was the Village Chairperson of Msale Hon. Amdi Abeid is pleased with the arrival of the   YPM for bringing the competition by saying that “It is a privileged opportunity for them and they promise to make good use of the opportunity to help the youth and the community to bring personal development and the development of the Nation as a whole in sports”.

 However, the Environment and Sports Development Officer Mr. Francis Kamote encouraged the young people participating in the competition to use the opportunity they had gotten to develop their talents because sports create jobs. He also stressed the care of the environment because it is a cross-cutting issue by saying “I should ask my brothers and sisters to take care of the environment while we raise and develop talents and create an environment for people to be employed and self-employed through sports, we must remember and stand firm in the care of the environment because this issue is sensitive and cross-cutting. Environmental Protection is an issue that cannot be avoided. Life is environment and environment is life. We thank the almighty God who has enabled us to manage and achieve this matter”

Mkutano wa (1)Kwanza wa Taasisi ya Vijana Waleta Amani Tanzania unaendelea hivi sasa katika ukumbi wa Utondolo Cathedral hapa Wilayani Lushoto.

Katika picha ni wajumbe wa mkutano huu

Imeelezwa kua tatizo la afya ya akili ni moja ya sababu ambayo imekuwa ikipelekea jamii kuwa na uwezo mdogo wa kubuni na kukabiliana na changamoto za kimaisha na hatimaye kushindwa kuyafikia maendeleo yaliyokusudiwa.

Hayo yamebainishwa na Naibu Waziri wa Afya Dokta Godwin Mollel katika kongamano la Afya ya akili lilowakutanisha vijana mkoani Kilimanjaro.

Dokta Mollel amesema katika kukabiliana na changamoto za afya ya akili serikali imeendelea kuboresha miundombinu ya afya ikiwa ni pamoja na huduma ya mama na mtoto huku akiitaka jamii kujikita katika matumizi sahihi ya lisha bora hususani kwa watoto waliochini ya umria wa miaka mitano ili kuwa na kizazi chenye ubunifu katika nyanja mbalimbali zikiwemo za kiuchumi.

Akizungumza na na watu waliohudhuria Mkurugenzi wa Taasisi ya vijana waleta Amani Tanzania (Youth Peace Makers Tanzania) Mch.Godfrey Walalaze amesema kongamano hilo limelenga kufikisha elimu kwenye jamii juu ya masuala yanayohusu afya ya akili.

baadhi ya vijana ambao wameshiriki katika kongamano hilo wamesema kupitia elimu waliyoipata wanaenda kuwa mabalozi wazuri kwa kutoa elimu kwenye jamii hasa kwa vijana wenzao.

It has been pointed out that the mental health problem is one of the factors that has led the community to be less able to design and cope with life’s challenges and ultimately fail to achieve the intended development.

This was stated by the Deputy Minister of Health Dr. Godwin Mollel at Youth Change Summit with a theme ‘The Rapid Emergence of Mental Problems in the Community’’ that was hosted by Youth Peacemakers Tanzania through its Youth Peacemakers Forum in Kilimanjaro Tanzania.

Dr. Molell said in response to the mental health challenges the government has continued to improve health facilities including maternal and child care while urging the community to focus on proper nutrition management especially for children under the age of five to have a generation with children who grow up with innovative ideas in various fields including science and technology.

Speaking to the audience, Rev. Godfrey Walalaze, Director of the Youth Peacemakers Tanzania, said the summit was aimed at educating the community on issues related to mental health.

Some of the young people who have participated in the summit said that through the education they have acquired they are going to be good ambassadors by providing education in the community especially to their fellow young people.
