Summary
This project will broaden the rugby programme in Eldorado, a violent slum area in the Sao Paulo periphery. Sports activities include: regular rugby training of boys' and girls' teams from age 11, removing social-economic barriers through matches and links with private schools, working in youth prisons to promote tag rugby. Children will have positive role models, develop important life skills and learn about Teamwork, Respect, Enjoyment, Discipline and Sportsmanship, which are rugby core values.
