Participants of 2018 Hope Sports Festival
Another festive and jam-packed event for Childhope Philippines in celebrating its 11th year of Hope Sport Festival last May 8 – 12.
About 222 street children filled the halls of the Rizal Memorial Coliseum, wearing their designated uniforms, representing 6 teams, and competing in basketball, volleyball, badminton and futkal (street soccer).
Dubbed as Hope Sports Festival, this yearly tradition is part of the skills development project organized by Childhope Philippines to promote the spirit of teamwork and sportsmanship among its street children beneficiaries. Moreover, the activity aims to develop their sports skills and talents and to teach them important values in pursuing their goals and passions.
The program was kicked off by Ms. Helen Quinto, Childhope’s Assistant Executive Director. In her opening remarks, she reminded the participants that the objective of the team is greater than individual goals, as stated in the project’s core values. She also stressed that the value of success should be for every member of the team, and that although it is a competition, participants should still enjoy the games.
Badminton games were conducted the on the first day of the sports fest. Team Violet (OSMA/ NAIA area) were declared champions and led the game against their opponent Team Red (Ermita/ Kalaw) with a score of 14 – 11. Team Red was declared second place while Team Yellow (Luneta/ Pier area) landed third place.
On the other hand, the much-awaited All-Star Basketball game had an intense competition participated in by selected players from North (Blue Team) areas and South (Orange Team) areas of Metro Manila. The game ended with a score of 54 – 53, where Team North won against its opponent and was declared as champions.
For Volleyball, Team Blue (Lawton/ Morayta), managed to pull away with the win, with the final score 25-19.
Team Violet beat Team Green (Blumentritt/ Monumento) in Midget Basketball Competition.
For Futkal, Team Yellow (Luneta/ Pier) beat its rival team, 1-0 in a very intense and exciting match.
All winners for this year’s sports fest received medals from Love Radio FM, trophies, and extra prizes like bags from Cartella, and loot bags from Cheil Integrated Marketing. Also, Ms. Lany Macapagal- Manzanilla sponsored the food and snacks for the participants.
