Mercury International; the renowned lottery and betting company in the country has boosted the Sierra Leone Handball Association (SLHA) with the sum of Le10m to complete their playing surface at the National Stadium.
This playing surface started some months ago, from a Le50m aid from the GermanEmbassy which was given to them for the construction of an indoor court- an amount which was not sufficient.
As a result, the association decided to start with the playing surface and was unable to finish it. Members therefore decided to write a letter to Mercury International, asking for support which they did in good faith.
According to some executive members who spoke to Awoko, the money is presently in their account and the executive will decide when they are going to continue with the work now that the rainy season is here.
They thanked Mercury International for coming to assist them to complete the playing surface.
