Ncsc has
seen tremendous achievements for
instance; one of our girls who's mentally handicapped
could not walk or even coordinate her limbs properly when she joined
but after 3 to 4 months training she can now walk, coordinate and swim.
This has really encouraged us to continue with that spirit and ensure
that this youth becomes full and active members of our society.
Ncsc has been participating in Kenya
Swimming Championships and this has made our swimmers earn an
opportunity to participate in the 2010 Common wealth games in India,
Paralympic games in Vancouver 2010 and the 2012 Olympic games in London
