Chandigarh 18th July:- Aon has partnered with Child Rights
and You (CRY) one of India’s leading NGOs to promote sports for
underprivileged children. Aon the leading global professional services firm
providing a broad range of risk, retirement and health solutions, which was one
of the prime sponsors of ‘Manchester United’, has confirmed its allegiance
with a grant to support sports as a tool to fight child rights issues.
Building
up the right skills and giving the child the optimum exposure not only hones
their talent but also acts as an encouragement for them to continue education
and stay away from the clasps of child labour, child marriage or other such
regressive practices. This alliance will target 6282 number of children
from 52 villages to get uninterrupted education with better sporting facilities
in their community.
Suma
Ravi, Regional Director, CRY (South), said that we are extremely glad to have
Aon’s support in our relentless effort to reach out to the last child and
ensure its right to childhood. Sports impacts a child in a positive way and we
have seen over the years motivating stories come out from the most challenging
communities-Vysarpadi, the largest slum in Chennai which formed the genesis of
the event. It is our continued effort to see a lasting change in the lives of
children and sports is a great facilitator of that change which we want to
harness through partnerships like this.
Tarandeep
Singh, Partner and Asia Pacific Middle East Leader, Aon Assessments, said that Aon
and its subsidiary, CoCubes, are proud to be associated as Title Sponsors for
Aon CRY Soccer for Child Rights a unique initiative from CRY to provide equal
opportunity for education to children.
