SOT seeks to field athletes in Umitashumta Games
SPECIAL Olympics Tanzania (SOT) leadership says it is waiting for the government permission for athletes with intellectual disabilities to be incorporated in the inter-primary schools (Umitashumta) games.
Charles Rays, SOT Director, said they wrote the government requesting it for sports among children with intellectual disabilities to be incorporated in Umitashumta activities, noting it is one of the ways of advocating sports inclusion.
Rays said although athletes with disabilities are included in Umitashumta games, there is a need for the authorities to include people with other forms of disabilities including those with intellectual challenges.
