sport coalitions in action, July 2010

A meeting on the Sport Coalitions in Action Program was held on July 16, 2010 while Henk de Jong, Meinou Steemers and Mark Blankwater were in Thimphu. The main focus for the next months will be on:

1. Design and execute activity program DYS Youth Centre in collaboration with YDF and other stakeholders.
2. Renew the facilities at the Youth Centre, together with the youth and involve youth in organizing and implementing sports activities.
3. Renew the playground near the Youth Centre.

We expect that the new facilities can be used from September onwards and that the activity program will be ready by that time. According to the planning, the next phase will be the identification of participants and to start working with a specific number of boys and girls from the target group. We are happy with all the steps taken during the past few weeks and are confident that all ingredients are there to continue working and to make the program successful!
