On the Ministry’s Community Sport programme, she added, “Despite the challenges of covid19, the Ministry of Sport and Community Development will be engaging in community sports this year, which gives us the opportunity to focus on our communities, in addition to preparing our athletes for the 2021 Olympic Games.”
Cudjoe commended La Horquetta/Talparo MP Foster Cummings for championing his community and congratulated the Wallerfield Warriors Boxing Gym for its continued work to facilitate programmes in sport.
