A two-day Play for Hope tournament got underway yesterday at Amahoro stadium. According to the in-charge of the tournament, Brian Beckman, the tournament is aimed at bringing children, schools kids, church kids and street kids together with the aim of interacting and giving them hope of the future.

"We want to bring people of all sections of society together to enjoy sports and learn to interact,” Beckman said, adding that the tourney is used to promote the Hope Festival.
