Press Release – Over Thousand Children Gathered to Play Sports in Ainaro

PRESS RELEASE

Dili, Timor-Leste · Sunday, 22 November 2015

SportImpact organized on Saturday, November 21, in Ainaro,
the 12^th edition of ‘Sport for Life’

At the 12th edition of ‘Sport for Life’ over thousand children and youngsters in Ainaro experienced 10 different sports.

This event was covered by Timor-Leste national television (RTTL) . The news will be broadcast on national television on Monday 23/11 at 8 p.m. (Timor-Leste time) and the video will be available in our YouTube channel in the next few days.

The event was co-organized with 44 participants of a five-day workshop at the Ainaro Youth Center on “Guide for Organizing Sport Events”. During the workshop the participants were stimulated by SportImpact facilitators to empower themselves to pursue their projects and dreams instead of just waiting for external support. Inspired by Peace and Sport’s Adapted Sport Manual, they built sport equipment for the event from local materials and recycled garbage, overcoming the lack of official (and expensive) equipment.

The Timor-Leste Athletics Federation had a special participation, bringing several internationally certified coaches to facilitate ‘Kids Athletics‘ – a series of games and exercises – for fun but also talent identification – including sprints, jumps, throws and different drills.

 On the 5^th of December, SportImpact is taking ‘Sport for Life’ to the remaining municipality, Same, completing the whole country.

Unfortunately, SportImpact intends to shutdown the ‘Sport for Life’ program at end of the year due to lack of funding (just $7,281 to date). In 2016 SportImpact had envisioned replicating the initiative around Timor-Leste, ensuring a legacy of continued sport practice and human development through local sport clubs and associations. SportImpact is actively looking for partners and financial support that could make this viable.

SportImpact thanks in particular UNESCO for financial support to four municipalities, MOVE – Catholic University of Portugal for committed volunteers, Peace and Sport for creating and sharing the Adapted Sport Manual, and the One World Play Project, for ‘indestructible’ footballs through ChildFund. For this event SportImpact appreciates the support from all co-organizers and volunteers from Timor-Leste Volleyball Federation, Timor-Leste Football Federation, Timor-Leste Sport Confederation, Timor-Leste National Youth Council, Youth Centre of Ainaro, local schools, among others.
