Leveling The Field—From Canada to Benin

I am absolutely thrilled to be working with Right To Play to help promote and spread awareness about their Level The Field program. I am excited to be paired up with an athlete ambassador—Olympic gold-medalist Kyle Shewfelt—to help spread the word about what Right To Play is doing, specifically, in Benin, Africa on a project called “We Help Children Lead.” Don’t think for a second that Right To Play is about sports equipment and throwing balls around. In fact, on this particular project, they are promoting equality—they are working with children in Benin to engage girls, people with disabilities, children affected by HIV and AIDS, children on the streets, and refugees. They are working to prove that children—all children—can become leaders in their communities. They can have their own voices and they can be heard.
