Last week, RTP Pakistan, together with CARE Foundation Pakistan and BARD Foundation , marked the International Day of Sport for Peace and Development with a series of events at CARE Adopted Schools in Lahore.
Boys competed in a volleyball tournament while girls took to the football ground. These are kids who often don't get access to organized sport so we took this year's International Day of Sport for Development and Peace as a opportunity to tell these kids why sports matter beyond physical activity.
