SEPROD SEPROD FOUNDATION FOUNDATION

Freedom Skatepark Launch

On October 12th, Seprod Foundation joined our local and international partners and supporters of the Freedom Skatepark for the long-awaited official launch of the park. Seprod Foundation has been heavily involved in the planning, construction and operation of Freedom Skatepark from its inception. The park provides employment opportunities for members of the community and educational and summer programmes aimed at keeping the children in the community actively and positively engaged in a safe space.

“The opening of the skate park is consistent with national, regional and global sports policies to intentionally use sport to achieve what is referred to as "non-sport outcomes". Strong sport for development and peace programmes embody the values of the sport while embracing the experience that sport and play can provide. They empower the participants and communities in which they are being implemented by engaging them in the design, development, and delivery of the objectives while building capacity at the local level," - Alando Terrelonge, State minister in the Ministry of Culture, Gender, Entertainment and Sport Terrelonge, who spoke on behalf of Minister Olivia "Babsy" Grange Terrelonge said.
