The Sports Program operates in support of Akanksha’s overall mission. The Program’s primary goal is for the children to have fun, create friendships, and build self-confidence through organized physical activities. The program reinforces positive values and behaviors for adult life. In addition, the students are taught how to work well on teams. As part of the program, classes are run on the weekends, and children are introduced to a variety of sports and offered a safe, healthy opportunity for organized physical activity, which they would otherwise not have. Students who are particularly successful in the classes are invited to join one of Akanksha’s teams, which compete in leagues with teams from other NGOs and community organizations so that they can continue to develop their skills in a more competitive environment.
