Soccer Match Too
By Ebele I Chukwuka (Mrs) | Project Leader
In our resolve to drive home our mission of embarking on the holistic rehabilitation of prison inmates in our community that is, deploying all necessary tools and actions to refine inmates in custody to be economically, socially and morally useful to themselves, their parents, their community and the society at large, C4HDI scheduled our regular annual football match for the 25th of September 2023 for inmates in all our prisons (now known as Correctional Centers).
The target is to among others, stabilize, promote and boost the confidence, psychological and education of the inmates in custody and when discharged. Recall that C4HDI are training the inmates in skill acquisition, craft learning, formal education, sports and farming to equip them with valuable knowledge for employment or can employ people by themselves.
The football match was as usual, warmly welcomed by inmates, prison officials and other stakeholders. There was shouts of joy throughout and after the feat. All enjoyed the match as psychological tension was relieved. The other aim of embarking on this sporting event is to balance the psyche of the inmates to take and easily understand what we teach them.
The success of this feat tells that we are impacting positively and should do more as the prison inmates, officials and stakeholders demand of us. We, C4HDI is more poised to do more.
An inevitable event about the match was the restriction placed on video recording of the match in the prison yard but, we tried our best to record a commentary right after the match to send to our donors, facilitators, stakeholders and community.
The restriction is not unconnected to the current political tension in our community.
Thanks.
C4HDI Team.

Our visit of June 21st 2024 to the correctional center in Abia State of Nigeria was a hectic one for it coincided with a work free day. We struggled with high traffic flow all through our way to our destination for lots of people and road users utilized the opportunity to travel, shop and visit friends, relations, colleagues and so on hence, most roads were choked with traffic. But we succeeded in getting there.
We signed in our names at the gates of the centre as we visited these youths in their different rooms.
We noticed that most of them are earger to learn one more thing from their various fields we teach them on. How excited we were! In the challenging humanitarian work, nothing gives me joy more than observing the positive response of the target audience. Some of were stirred to ask them some random questions on different fields of their individual learning that we teach them. One particular inmate impressed us all by explaining how to make an executive siting room chairs. When he mentioned that the wood must be stronger than plywood, the gum used are special, the padding of the foam to taste and sewing of the cover was enthralling to us all... leaving us with smiles. This was in addition to a mason who described the art of block moulding. The sports aspect was also encouraging. Those involved in soccer, hand ball, basket ball and volley ball also described the game and how appreciative they are to C4HDI and her projects.We encouraged them to continue learning and that there is light at the end of the tunnel.
C4HDI plans to employ all the trained inmates at their discharge, as we are acquiring parcels of land to establish workshops, fish ponds, farmlands show room and advertisers.
We shared them some ration of edibles and materials for their continued learning.
Thanks.
