Our society is facing numerous challenges. Our lives have
become too fast to be managed. Due to growing economic pressure and societal
competition over limited resources and opportunities, people have no time for
recreation, exercise, entertainment, social gatherings, public speaking etc.
The use of sports in social sector is not new. TFA
acknowledges the importance of sports as communication channel, awareness raising
strategy, community mobilization and a tool of change. Here under TFA, there
will be series of competitions for various sports and games like cricket,
football, volley ball, badminton, race, cycling race, handball, swimming and
various other sports.
Being social sector organization, Ittehad Foundation
believes that sports are much important in child and adolescent development.
Such programs can support MTSP priorities, in both communicating messages and
in programming, assisting the achievement of key objectives in health,
education and development while supporting the active participation of children
and adolescents, and ensuring the basic right to play (CRC, Article 31).
Apart from making them physically fit, sports and games
teach many other social and moral values and qualities like discipline, team
work, cooperation, leadership, tolerance, and patience etc.
Moreover the increasing competitions in education and
economic field have built up pressure on our youth. This scenario is causing
frustration and depression in our youth. Sports will acts as a positive engagement
that will shift their minds and thinking to healthy things.
So this component has been incorporated in TFA with the
following objectives:
- To create and promote a culture of sports and physical education in schools and communities
- To seek out local talent in sports and bring them to light
- To preach the importance of sports and physical education to schools, colleges and communities
- Use sports in relation to education, health, and protection of children and adolescents.
