2. The power of sport
"Sport has the power to
change the world. It has
the power to unite in a way
that little else does. It
speaks to youth in a
language they understand.
Sport can create hope
where once there was only
despair. It is more powerful
than governments in
breaking down racial
barriers. It laughs in the
face of all types of
discrimination.
Nelson Mandela
