India
Whilst we haven’t toured for a few years to India we have been 4 times since 2011 working in Bhubaneswar (Kolkata) and Mirik (Darjeeling).We rely on partnerships here, to ensure the continuation of the work we do on the ground, and at the moment we are developing new links.
We have opened up netball to children who have limited access to sports in schools and communities in rural and urban parts of the country. One project worked with kids who live and work on rubbish dumps, and so the freedom to play netball was a welcome break. To see them happy and laughing was beautiful. In May 2014 we were delighted to take 2 netball teams from Kolkata to Delhi to take part in their first netball tournament - what a joy! |
