Here's a few photos of some of the young folk from Westburn Youth Club enjoying basketball provided by UTD Sports Ltd.
The session was part of a number of taster classes taking place over the last few weeks, thanks to funding made available through Participatory Budgeting - where community members decide on how local funding is spent and what activities they want in their local community through a voting system.
The young people took part in a consultation event earlier in the year to decide what events they would like to take place in their local area - so far, they have enjoyed:
- Street dance & Hip Hop
- Hockey & Short Tennis
- Athletics & Badminton
- Cheerleader and Gymnastics
- Fun, Fitness and Rugby
Over the next few weeks, the young people will take part in a second consultation where they will decide what activities they would like to continue, and this will be rolled out over a continuous 12-week program.
Well done guys!

In the fall of 2010, some community members noticed an uncanny situation taking place in Siliguri, West Bengal. A woman named Sumithra Sharma was negotiating the price of her child with two agents. World Vision staff Sandeep Mahato and Child Labour Welfare member Sudama Sahani noticed this and they were perplexed. They feared that the child would be subject to trafficking and immediately approached the mother and the agents.
And truly, her mother was selling her baby. Why should she be so cruel? Hunger seemed fiercer than her love towards her children. Her husband Sagar Sharma had died just 20 days ago and she had no means to look after her three children. So she decided to sell her 10-month-old baby Chandan Sharma for Rs. 20,000. “At least he will have a good home to stay in,” said Sumithra, her eyes displaying her desperate hope that somewhere her child would have a good future. Little did she know, her baby would actually be exploited!
Sandeep and Sudama, knowing the real motive behind these agents, immediately alerted the community people, who then handed over the agents and the mother to a nearby police station.
Now, to help Sumithra look after her three children, the police has provided food for the family. The ward counselors opened a bank account amounting Rs. 22000 for her. They also provided free medical treatment for her children and promised employment to Sumithra.
Had we not alerted the community on the issue of child trafficking, Sumithra’s child today would have been subject to exploitation.

World Vision started a football team (players wearing white jersey) many years back for children in slums. Many of the players have faced child labour in some form – from cleaning drainages to working in tea shops, hotels and mechanic shops.
Now that their life has changed tide with help from World Vision India, they came together to raise awareness for children who are bound by the chains of child labour in sports goods industry...especially stitching of footballs in places like Meerut and Jalandar.
They played a passionate game on the World Day Against Child Labour to send the message loud and clear – END CHILD LABOUR
There was a nice flow and spirit of cooperation to the work; when someone set a shovel down it would soon be picked by another.
