CNVLD invited to participate in prestigious Shafallah Conference
The CNVLD has been honoured with an invitation to participate in the highly prestigious Shafallah Center’s International Forum 2008 on Sport and Ability in Doha, Qatar in April.
The International Forum 2008 is to be hosted by the Shafallah Center for Children with Special Needs under the Patronage of Her Highness Sheikha Mozah Bint Nasser Bin Abdullah Al-Missned, chaired by Hassan Ali Bin Ali and co-chaired by Cherie Blair.
The forum will explore how sport and the promotion of ability can be expanded to reach all members of our globally aware society and how sport, recreation and cultural activities promote global unity, social inclusion, acceptance and skill acquisition and friendships.
The current effects of these programs and the future direction for how sport and ability can be expanded to reach all members of our society will be a central focus of the forum.
CNVLD Secretary General Chris Minko will be formally represented at the Shafallah Forum by CNVLD Sports Programs Manager Neil Wilford who will honour the invitation by making a exhibition presentation on the CNVLD’s work on Sport and Development in Cambodia.
The CNVLD extends its deepest gratitude and highest respect to the Shafallah Center and Her Highness Sheikha Mozah Bint Nasser Bin Abdullah Al-Missned for inviting Cambodia’s leading disability sports organisation to make a presentation at this exceptionally prestigious event, and looks forward to working with the world’s leading sports and development experts during the conference.
Visit the Shafallah Center website to find out more about the International Forum 2008.

New report spotlights cooperation between business and sport
A new report “Shared Goals through Sport” published by the International Business Leaders Forum (IBLF) emphasises the huge opportunity for sport to address development issues in partnership with the corporate sector.
The report findings have been backed by Nike, Standard Chartered and UK Sport who all see the immense benefits sport can bring through effecting positive social change.
Since 2003, the CNVLD has strongly advocated the benefits of engaging the corporate sector in sporting programmes in support of marginalized social groups and “Shared Goals through Sport” highlights how this approach is now being formally embraced by leading international businesses.
Following the Magglingen Call for Action in 2005 , the CNVLD was awarded the United Nations International Year of Sport Award for Best practices Sport and Development and earlier this year was selected as a Finalist in the Nike-Changemakers Sport for a Better World Competition.
The CNVLD is proud that the efficacy of its model, now in the seventh year of implementation, has been recognized by the industry’s leading players and that Cambodia continues to be on the cutting edge of international sports and development.
