Given the increasing challenges to children’s lives and the increasingly more complex sets of skills and abilities that are required for success in the workplace of the twenty-first century, we may need to revisit how and where we make investments in our children
The Raichel Joseph Sports Foundation, founded on 19, Sept 2010, has a vision of bringing about a paradigm shift in the mindset of young people growing up in India’s weaker section of the society. Our program helps them understand their own ability and responsibility to radically change their communities and create a strong and aware society. RJF is a not-for-profit organization in India that believes in the child’s right to play (declared by UN).
Goals:
- To reinstate the Child’s right to Play and Promote Gender Equality
- Build Life Skills
- Promoting social interactions through sporting opportunities by giving exposure to excellence and fair play
- Grooming the youth to be Leaders of tomorrow
- Empower every individually to become financially self-reliant
The Project
Understanding the importance of “sense of belonging” we have identified 40 of the best players over the last 2 years and formed 2 teams – u 17 & open team.
The training helps them to face challenges, builds self esteem and appreciate Team Spirit!
Today they have qualified to be a part of the MDFA division 3 and been invited to play at the National Level Chandigarh tournament which itself is a benchmark of their abilities/skills.
With the football season starting we need to focus on intensive training, better nutritution and football gear for these students to take them to the next level.
The training is held in the PM Mhatre Ground, Juhu.
Technical support to train the teams is provided by The Indian Tigers Football Alliance and International Footballers
Building Life Skills in our Leaders of Tomorrow!
