The 2012 Olympic Games are now in full gear and we're all consumed by Olympic Fever!
Today we're highlighting the work of two social entrepreneurs who use sport as a vehicle for change.
Melisa Goldfinger works as Executive Co-ordinator of Heme Aqui, a school of life for people with special needs, where the game of golf is used as a tool for education and integration. The organisation created 'golf-therapy', a state of the art methodology to achieve inclusion of people with special needs in society by developing their self-esteem, sense of belonging and their physical, mental and social skills.
In 2007, Dina Buchbinder-Auron founded Deport-es para Compartir (Sports to Share), a civic and educational program that teaches children about values and important global issues through games and sports. Over 32,500 girls and boys have participated in this unique program.
