It is also a powerful force for change and information sharing on issues such as HIV (Andy Seales – UNAIDS) Because the prevention of and fight against discrimination are the two fields in which sport can clearly make a difference, and because sport breaks down barriers, builds self esteem and can teach life skills and healthy behaviour, the sports movement has decided to join the world campaign against AIDS (IOC President Jacques Rogge)

It transcends every conceivable barrier in terms of ethnicity, social status, colour and creed) Bridges the gap between different communities It acts as a tool for prevention but you have to have the right people involved It allows for human development Individual development – mind, body and spirit Social development – strong communities
