Michael,
I just want to say that I am really happy to see RTP enter the competition and am really curious to learn more about your work in Pakistan/ Afghanistan. It seems to me that there are probably real insights that could be gleaned about both youth with disabilities and gender inclusion from this settings - do you have any strategies that you could share that might help other groups that are struggling to successfully include these target audiences in settings where there is not necessarily a supportive environment to do so. I am also curious to know more about how you guys try to "go local" as you cited external factors as an obstacle - We all agree that sport is particularly useful in post-conflict settings and I am curious to know more how you operate successfully in spite of the tensions that exist in this type of landscape.
Thanks and best of luck,
Ziba
