 Project Badminton for streetchildren in Gravatá/Pernambuco/Brazil
The objective of the project is to support poor children and adolescents through Badminton.
Presentation of the project:
A very important aspect in human life ist hope, a perspective, something which can help you to see you through difficulties, like the lack of food or other basic needs, or even violence.
This is our starting point for the children and adolescents, who live in a huge favela (slum quarter) in Gravatá. Unemployment, alcoholproblems and violence are common, the living situation is miserable with whole families living in a single room and open sewage all around where little children play.
Badminton, with all the aspects of the project represent hope and improvement of the quality of life.
Practicing a sport without violence, an improved nutrition, improved clothing, compulsory schooling, even attention of the media, journeys, imporving self value feeling and much more besides, which one can read in the eyes of the involved ones.
These are some of the aspects that improve the quality of life of the children and adolescents and can be acheived with small means.
