Empower 2,000 Cambodian Kids Through Sport

Celebrating Growth and Strength

The Globalteer Sports Project has had an incredible year in 2024! Our students are not only growing stronger physically but also developing enthusiasm and confidence in every class. This year, we prioritized structured routines, starting each session with stretching exercises to promote balanced muscle development. At the end of each class, our coaches reviewed the benefits of physical activity to reinforce healthy habits. Additionally, they shared advice on proper nutrition and hygiene, ensuring a holistic approach to the students’ well-being.

Expanding Impact Across Six Partner Schools

As the Cambodian public school year began last month, our dedicated coaches resumed classes in all six of our outreach partner schools. Armed with fresh ideas and innovative team games, they implemented strategies developed alongside passionate volunteers and partners like Siem Reap FC and Kids Play International. We are steadfast in our belief in the transformative power of sport and its ability to inspire students.

Energizing Sports at Helping Hands School

Managing sports classes at Helping Hands School comes with its challenges—especially in Cambodia’s intense heat—but our team ensures every student remains engaged and happy. Sports classes here follow a classic Physical Education model: warm-ups, skill-building exercises, and team games. While basketball and volleyball are popular, football remains the crowd favorite among our students.

Breaking Barriers for Girls in Sports

One of our proudest achievements this year has been fostering an inclusive environment where girls participate fully in sports. Despite cultural norms in rural Cambodia that often discourage girls from engaging in physical activities, Helping Hands School students are breaking barriers. Visitors frequently comment on the spirit of inclusivity and healthy competition, which is a testament to our commitment to empowering all children through sport.

New Skills, New Partnerships, and Exciting Plans

This year, we introduced several new games and activities, including American Football, which our coaches are eager to continue practicing. Our recent partnership with Kids Play International has opened new opportunities for skill development and creative programming. Looking ahead, we are excited to see our coaches grow and explore innovative ways to make sports even more impactful. The highlight of our calendar? Our upcoming Sports Festival, which promises to be a celebration of teamwork, energy, and joy!

Thank you for making this journey possible. Together, we are creating brighter futures for children in rural Cambodia through the transformative power of sport.
