This is a contribution of just one player showing his gratefulness and love for country.The government cannot do it all or be the only source of funding.So instead of Tanko calling on the government to build pitches he should be calling on all the wealthy players and retired athletes to contribute to improving the Sports which gave them so much.

DEAFLYMPICS TEAM STILL IN GHANA; BEGS PREZ NANA ADDO FOR AIR-TICKETS TO TURKEY.

The Ghana Deaflympics Team is appealing to His Excellency the president of the republic, Nana Addo Danquah Akuffo Addo to help acquire air tickets for the team to enable them leave Ghana for the World Deaflympics in Turkey.
President of the Ghana Deaf Sports Federation, Mr Jonathan Amoah, said the team has acquired all their visas but is still in Ghana because of money to buy tickets.

"We have struggled from day one, we have suffered so much neglect throughout our preparations up till this stage, we have paid everything with our own money and from the contributions of the parents of the athletes; now we have visas but our monies are finished now so we beg your own father Nana Addo to consider our plight and help us with tickets for the team because he is our last resort and our final hope", Mr Amoah told this reporter. " Nana Addo is a human rights fighter and our situation goes beyond the no money syndrome. It's now a human rights matter and our president should sympathize with us and step in", the emotionally looking Mr Amoah added.

The Deaflympics started yesterday and Ghana's first event is fixed for Friday 21st July 2017. Ghana is competing in seven selected disciplines i.e. athletics, beach volleyball, taekwondo, cycling, bowling, orienteering and golf.

Mr Amoah, who is also an executive member of the International Committee of Deaf Sports, appealed to corporate Ghana and individuals for support, stating that Ghana will suffer international sanctions including a ban if the team does not show up in the games after having registered.

Meanwhile, the GOC has not been able to release the kits they promised the team. National Media Coordinator, Mr Oti-Asirifi said, they having challenges "in getting in touch one on one with Mr Ben Nuuno Mensah, the GOC boss to receive the items.
Media reports earlier this week suggested that the Deaflympics team was in Kantamanto on Saturday to procure kits for team Ghana.

I agree with Kwame. The BA people are so great but very humble. A testimony of their resourcefulness is the set up of their towns. I spent few months working in Ashanti and BA and I can anecdotally say they people in BA have high standard of living compared to the rest of GH but hardly do you hear them making noise

you have said it all, even if this project were to have been constructed by GFA or government the cost will have been in millions of dollars. This is the situation we face in this country that is why we are where we are.
