“Sport can play an important role in improving the lives not only of individuals, but whole communities. I am convinced the time is right to build on that understanding, to encourage governments, development agencies and communities to think how sport can be included more systematically in the plans to help children, particularly those living in the midst of poverty, disease and conflict.”
