International day of Sport for development and peace

TORINO: Every year on April 6 the Olympic Movement celebrates the International Day of Sport for Development and Peace, an annual acknowledgment of the power of sport to drive social change, foster community development and promote peace.

After successfully engaging with the climbing community over the past few years, the International Federation of Sport Climbing (IFSC) decided to go for something bigger and better in 2021, teaming up with Peace and Sport to launch and promote a crowdfunding campaign in support of the organisation’s development projects.

MUMBAI: As we celebrate the UN initiative of International day of Sport for development and peace Friday, it has a close synergy with Yuvraj Singh in many ways. Yuvraj has supported UNICEF development initiatives in the past and continues to do so with his work via his NGO – YouWeCan.  Founded in 2009, YouWeCan (Yuvraj Singh Foundation) works in three primary areas of health, education and sports.
