THE National Paralympic Committee is finalizing talks with a German based NGO ‘Human Help Network’ to bankroll the national sitball and sitting volleyball championships which throw off this Sunday.According to the President of the Paralympics body, Dominique Bizimana, the NGO will raise the Rwf 10m budget."It is a huge boost because running the league without sponsorship is very difficult,” a relieved Bizimana said.Last year, Intwari handicap claimed a double after winning both leagues. Meanwhile, the national Sitting volleyball team has continued its preparations for the London 2012 Paralympics Games slated for July.The team, which is being handled by Jean Marie Nsengiyumva, trains twice a week at the NPC Gymnasium.
