I believe play and sport are a fundamental right for children - not a luxury. And they are both critical to the healthy development of children. Your programme looks really inspiring. There are a wide range of sports and choices that you offer.

Given the challenges that you site for women of illiteracy, fundamentalism, lack of democracy and human rights, the case for what you are doing is even greater.

This is good for all of us. I know Mr. Quazi Iqbal Bahar Sabery, who is the ASHOKA felow on Rural Child Development in Bangladesh. His innovation contributed a lots to us developing rural child and gilrls. Particularly the rights of girls children is one of the major intervention. As a ASHOKA Felow, he introduced rights to sp0rts in our community. Till now we have a tradition to sports and mobility.

I strongly agree his innovation. We thinks all have rights to sports and mobility. In our country people making bar to sprots and mobility.

I also urge the all concerns to come forwards to raise our voice to ensure rights of sports of girls children

Hey, I have just looked through your project and really admire how you determined to give these children a better life and fight for right.

Sport is an amazing tool to enchance indiviudals life. From previous experiance.... dance as a sport has worked wonders in many of the projects i have been involved with especially considering the majority of girls love to dance. The differing disciplines can add a challenge and also choreogprahy can be a relevant aspect. Would you consider including dance in your program?

Look forward to heading from you and hope everything is going well.

I feel that every child, teenager and adult both male and female should always be given the opporutnity and the right to participate in sport. Not only does sport provide general health benefits but it gives people a means for escape, social connectivity and helps people to work together to achieve, inspire and beleive in themselves in every walk of life. It is an excellent tool for giving and providing a platform for better life and fighting for thier rights.
Sport has provided me with endless opportunities and has lead me to meet some amazing and inspirational people and most of my best friends have come from sport. I have first hand experience of how sport can change people's life from when i worked with children in nigeria and I really encourage and support and project like yours.

keep up the good work.
