You’ve heard from me for months so perhaps the best way to leave you is with a word from a Right To Play volunteer coach called Matthias in Benin, west Africa:
“As teachers and parents we have the mission to give children the appropriate knowledge to encourage their full development. But this cannot be achieved without a happy environment, without role models that lead children back to a path they have strayed from because of the violence and difficulties of their surroundings. And we cannot succeed without the sport and play activities that give children the chance to relax whilst learning. Right To Play games are an invaluable and clever channel that allow children reach that state, and the children on the programme are more empathetic, better in school, healthier, and more confident. But best of all, they are happier and hopeful for a better future.”

A huge thanks to everyone who has sponsored me - hopefully by reading things like Matthias's comments you realise how important Right To Play's work has become.
