SOCIAL HALL; A dream come true



When I finished form Four, I had a lot of time in my hands. Life in the village was a total contrast with what I had been used at School. In the village it was total boredom. I was a good basketballer, I used to play Table Tennis, Karate and I was also an actor and a debater. I have a number of certificates which I was accorded in drama festivals.
Having left school, I looked around even in the neighbouring villages for a place or an institution where I could while away the time and utilize my favourite talents. There was nowhere. The only game that was being played anywhere was football. Nothing else. 
I wished there was a venue, an accessible place where we can join with friends, to start a drama club, a debating club or play some useful games. I wished we had a place where we can converge and discuss issues affecting young people, a place where we can have weekend activities like dramas, discos, or whatever. But there was none. No wonder youths in the villages
