Nairobi Oct. 7 (Xinhua) -- Only seven countries Marlins Wei-Yin Chen Jersey , including Kenya, have bid to host the 2017 Africa Nations Cup finals.
Confederation of African Football (CAF) on Tuesday confirmed that Kenya was among the seven countries that put in their bid for the premier Africa football competition.
"By the deadline of Sept. 30, CAF had received applications from seven member associations for the hosting rights of the 2017 Africa Cup of Nations. The seven in alphabetical order are: Algeria, Egypt, Gabon, Ghana, Kenya, Sudan and Zimbabwe," said CAF in a statement on Tuesday.
CAF had given the hosting rights to Libya, but the North African country withdrew as hosts of the 2017 African Nations Cup finals because of ongoing fighting in the country, which has led to delays in plans to build new stadiums for the 16-team tournament.
The North African country had planned to build 11 stadiums at a cost of 314 million U.S. dollars including a showpiece new 60,000-seater Austrian-built stadium on the site of a former military camp in Tripoli.
Kenya is planning to utilize about 200 million dollars on hosting the tournament, and will only need to upgrade three of its five venues - in Kisumu, Mombasa and Eldoret.
Nairobi's two venues - Nyayo and Kasarani stadiums are sanctioned by CAF for international matches. CAF then invited new bidders for the tournament.
CAF says announcement for the countries wishing to host the tournament will be made next year.
"Nominations were opened on Aug. 23, following the withdrawal of Libya through a circular signed by the CAF Secretary General, Hicham El Amrani. The host country will be decided by the CAF Executive Committee during one of its sessions in 2015," CAF said in the statement.
The circular emphasized that due to the limited time frame for the organization of the 2017 Africa Cup of Nations, the CAF Executive Committee will focus on the host with acceptable infrastructure and facilities required, which include Stadia, training grounds, accommodation and communications in making a decision.
Kenya had wanted to make a joint bid with either Tanzania or Rwanda, but opted to go alone.
Football Kenya Federation (FKF) Chairman Sam Nyamweya said he believes Kenya has a high chance to win the bid, because they are the only bidders from the East Africa region, which has not staged the event before.
"FKF will liaise with the ministries of sports, tourism, foreign affairs to move with speed and work together to have a strong bid that will be successful," Nyamweya said.
"I am convinced that we shall secure the necessary government guarantees, with a firm commitment to having a successful tournament that will serve the rest of Africa the best of our hospitality."
Gordon Oluoch, the Sports Commissioner, confirmed the Government will fully support the bid.
"I can confirm that we have full government support and we are willing to work with FKF in this venture," said Oluoch, Tuesday in Nairobi.
Kenya had bid to host the 2018 African Nations Championships (CHAN) after being time barred in their quest to win the 2019 Africa Nations Cup finals.
I think it is very important to have stimulating activities for autistic children. Autism is a spectrum disorder that leaves a child lacking those social and communication skills regular people are born with. It often leaves them having trouble interpreting stimulation of the senses. There is always this need to push the child out of their comfort zone and allow them to have a little stimulation through the day. This is how they gradually improve. With proper activities, you can keep the child entertained and enjoying the process, as well as helping them progress as a person. I'm going to show you the activities for autistic children that I think will work very well.
Singing can be a very beneficial activity even if the child lacks the verbal skills to do it. Song usually has repetitive sounds and instruments that require repetitive work. This works hand and hand with autistic behavior. If they lack the verbal skills, they still can hum along without having to use words. This works extremely well at sensory stimulation, so they end up getting used to it. It can also help them relate to other children that are participating.
I have found that activities for autistic children often reflect those of a regular child. If you look at tag for example, the child is forced to concentrate on who is it. It isn't a difficult game to learn and it can really help the senses. There is also the added benefit of playing with other children. This socializing really helps them develop those skills. They learn to recognize the body language of their peers and to understand it.
As your child gets older, you have to have the activities to progress to meet them. Organized sports may be a desired activity that they'd really like to do. You should definitely encourage such activities because it gets them involved with other peers that really help with relating and communication. Choosing sports is the tough part. A lot of sports like hockey and football require a huge amount of stimulation. There's just so much to pay attention too. Sports like baseball and golf have much less stimulation, since you're just focusing on a ball. I'm not saying that it isn't possible for your child to play a more stimulating sport; it really depends on where they are as .
