My parents have been the greatest supporter and I do understand the importance of proper coaching and support needed to take up any sports . With this thought I am supporting HEED India a Not for profit organisation , who runs a sports training program at the grass root level giving them an opportunity to play.
Sports for Every Child is a program for bringing change in lives of millions of children and youth who lack access to coaching, nutrition and basic sports gear.
They are not only coaching for making them competition ready but also trying to prevent and change negative behavior & various addiction practices in these children and their peer group. Their program imparts life skills like discipline, team-work, goal setting and responsibility.
As on today, they have been providing coaching to 2300+ high potential, lesser privileged children from schools across Mumbai through expert coaching, nutrition & conditioning in 5 sports. They have national & state level coaches training these children in sports like athletics, boxing, kabaddi, taekwondo and wrestling along with capacity building of physical education teachers for a sustainable impact.
They have trained 2238 students last year out of which 438 students participated in various events with a medal tally -59 Gold , 50 Silver and 62 Bronze. Making children active by playing sports is a much needed foundation for our countries #fitindiamovement.
