#Environmental Love and Basketball# (SLAM DUNK YOUR TRASH)

A total shift from the norm is what SOFER Initiative is bringing the world. Using the game of Basketball as a tool for transforming communities environmentally. Creatively innovative with all sense of freshness is what the SDYT represents... Fanitisation, 3 R-Side, Dunk Your Trash, Pick n' Trash, 3 Rs Rap Battle are some of the freshly developed concepts to amplifying our clamour for a clean, green, safe and serene environment. We are also giving back to the University of Uyo and its communities
a refurbished basketball court. Thanks to our committed Volunteers and Partners - Ford Motors Conservation and Environmental Grant Programme. For more information, , contact: saemmatt@yahoo.com :+2348037719063.
