April 6th and the WhiteCard offer me an educational opportunity, first of all celebrating the idea of sport as a mean of cooperation and union, and moreover promoting multi-cultural events and initiatives throughout the year. So here I am, behind my White Card!

By the way, what I like doing most is looking in front of my White Card (not just behind), at the thousands people, of any age and from each part of  the world, who have shared this special path with me, for years.

 

Happy Sport and Peace day to everybody!

I am a Sports for Development and Peace practitioner and researcher from Pakistan. I lead Kafka Welfare Organization as an Executive Director here we use sports as a social tool to engage isolated young people. Otherwise, they would go to the negative side.
