We found the following quote from Laureus on the Sport and Development Platform:

Laureus Academy Chairman Edwin Moses, the double Olympic 400 metres hurdles champion, says: "I think you can say at the start our prime objective was the creation of the Awards, but that's not the case any more. Now when any of the Academy get together we are just as likely to talk about what's been happening at the Luta pela Paz project in Sao Paulo, the Magic Bus in India or the Grupo desportivo de Manica in Mozambique, as we are about who should be the Sportsman of the Year. It's been a profound change."

One of our Director's, Simango, loves to talk about the idea of a 'global village'- well, one might presume to say that Manica is part of the global village and what a privilege to be mentioned by an icon like Mr Moses.
