Johann Olav Koss, triple world skating champion and winner of
four Olympic gold medals, wants to make it possible for everyone,
everywhere, to have the opportunity to play. "Everyone" includes
those children who, through war, natural disasters, violence or
famine, have lost everything. It is for this cause that Koss has
given up his career as a top class athlete to found the
organization "Right to Play." This book takes the reader on an
adventure around the world--through schools in Rwanda, refugee
camps in Palestine, the slums of Mali and the United Nations
Headquarters in New York. The reader will meet child soldiers who
have returned from war, children who have to survive on the streets
of Africa, and boys with nothing but a rolled up T-shirt as a
football because they have nothing else to use.IN addition to the
children, "Right to Play "also includes the stories of athletes
from all over the world who will tell him why they enjoy sport so
much., Famous ambassadors from "Right to Play" who share their
memories of the early days of playing games and of their sports.
From all these people the reader will learn why--heart and
soul--these men and women are such supporters of "Right To
Play."
