\u201cSport is the greatest tool we have in today\u2019s society to assist in the development of positive character traits and life values among children.\u201d says Mr. Vivik Ragoonanan, one of the Directors of the Gift for Life Foundation (GFLF)<\/strong>. \u201cNo other place affords them the opportunity to soak up as many quality values as sports participation provides.\u201d<\/p>\n

On Sunday 23rd<\/sup>, August, 2015<\/strong>, GFLF provided children among twenty one (21) different Children\u2019s Homes with the opportunities, inspiration, and support to participate in sporting activities. They created a safe, secure and positive environment for every child who attended the Annual GFLF Sports & Family Day at the Pierre Road Recreational Ground, Charlieville.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Members of GFLF designed this day where the focus was on mixed aged teams\/races, so children can participate regardless of age or gender. The activities were multi-skill based, but the most important was the focus on fun through friendly competition. \u201cEvery child can achieve on this day! Being involved in athletic experiences isn\u2019t just about a child winning or losing,\u201d says one of the GFLF youth arm members. \u201cIt\u2019s about more important things like effort, skill-building and team participation among children from different children\u2019s home where children learn from their successes and failures.\u201d<\/p>\n

Whilst every home participated and had a great time, the winners were:<\/p>\n

1st<\/sup> \u2013 Margaret Kistow Children\u2019s Home, Malabar (Won challenge trophy in 3 consecutive years).<\/p>\n

2nd<\/sup> \u2013 Raffa Girls\u2019, Malabar<\/p>\n

3rd<\/sup> \u2013 Swaha Children\u2019s Home, Penal<\/p>\n
