The soon to be opened Challengers Multi-Purpose Community Centre is vital to the educational, sporting and human development of the young people in particular and residents in general.
Community and Sports activist Mr. Glenn “Ghost” Phillip said the new facility will be used to house a gym, a library and computer centre as well as resurrect and improve several sporting events in the area.
Expressing thanks and appreciation to the Methodist Congregation for the use of their Church Hall as a meeting place for several decades, Mr. Phillip said it was at that facility that he and several other villagers learned to play dominoes and other games.
“This community centre is modern and what I would like to see taking place from this new community centre is a Challengers football team going to the Premier Division as well as the establishment of a gym. At present, we are sourcing a 65-inch television screen to be used to educate our young people in several sporting disciplines and for other educational purposes,” said Phillip, who has been tapped to succeed the Minister of Health, Community and Social Development and Gender Affairs, Hon. Rupert Herbert, as the St. Kitts – Nevis Labour Party’s Parliamentary Representative for Constituency #4.
