Sports Development in India
Donation protected
As apart of an excellent placement/volunteer opportunity beginning in 2016, ten students have been selected to travel to India this November. I am lucky enough to be selected in this team.
We will be running programs in under privileged schools to promote physical activity and a healthy lifestyle to the children, parents and teachers. All ten students are currently in their final year of studying a Bachelor of Sport, Health and Physical Activity at Flinders University in South Australia. Over the four week period we will be volunteering in schools; planning and conducting sport orientated classes as well as sport nutrition classes. As a part of our assignment we will also be teaching the teachers how to teach sport in the schools, and also about the importance of physical activity.
Due to the program being an industry placement, students are not getting paid to travel or for their work they partake in, it is strictly voluntary. As India is a developing country, equipment is needed to be provided by us, the students. Each class we teach will consist of 30-40 children aged between 3 and 16; and we will be attending 6-8 schools across Mumbai and Kolkata.
We are currently sourcing donations to purchase equipment, sports related books for each of these schools. The equipment and books will be left in India with the schools to help provide more access to physical activity and promote a healthy lifestyle.
Any donations would be greatly appreciated and will be very helpful to make this program successful.
