Right To Play

Ran across this on the NHL frontpage. It's a sport-promoting organization that deals with communities in other countries, they have Brad Ference from the Bruins and Steve Montador of the Panthers on this particular journey to Africa.

This sounds pretty cool... it's probably a lot more interesting to me than almost all of the off-season news we've had, and that includes any of the FA deals that were flying around hands down.

Anyone can tell that this doesn't compare with giving straight up physical relief to people who are hurting the most, but seriously, these little things like giving kids something to do - whether you're in some downtown first world city or somewhere else, that's important. Sports don't matter a lick, it's what they do for kids that matters, and I really like the idea of this.

"The rural children are much more shy and reserved than the city kids because their exposure to the West and "Mzumu" (white foreigners) is very limited.

"It was hard to coax a smile out of them for pictures at first but the magic of digital photography provided a great solution. Showing the kids the pictures of themselves proved to be a true crowd pleaser and soon enough kids wanting to see their digital reflection surrounded us."

I just wanted to share this with you guys. I'd never heard about them, but if you have and know much about how they work and their results, that'd be great to hear about.
