Special Olympics

Open Doors held the Special Olympics for Plateau State on the 28th February. It was a great day for all. It was clear that everyone had a great time. We had the 100 metres (walking and running), wheelchair races, the long jump, a table-tennis competition, a girl’s 5-a-side football match and a boys 5-a-side football match. Many medals were won. The next stage is the regionals in another state, then the nationals in Lagos. If any of our kids get through the nationals they will be on their way to the world olympics 2012 in Rome. It is not impossible for any of our kids. Last year 2 pupils from Open Doors ended up in China for the world olympics!
