Ian Jonathan Basckin, from Australia, was appointed as the Technical Delegate Karate for the 2017 Pacific Mini Games by Oceania Karate Federation.
During his visit to Port Vila, Mr Basckin was delighted to meet and make new friends in karate, where he was able to share his eight years of experience in the sport. He said while he is not participating at all, he is involved in it as a passion.
“We have 15 Sport Specific Volunteers in karate for the Mini Games, and I want to teach them - not use them, but teach them - to become Vanuatu officials in the future,” he said.
