CANARY Island’s Jo Bear is collecting sneakers and support bras to reboot the Bright Tigers project connecting women with sport in India.
“After a two-year break, we are heading back to India in January to build on the netball program that was started in 2018,” she said.
“Our sneaker delivery in 2020 was so successful and welcomed that the community members in India are hoping we could do this again.”
Jo said the project in a remote area of India empowered local women and gave them greater self-confidence,
“The project is engaging women through sport, and affording them respect and tolerance,” she said. “Sporting opportunities for woman are rare in India. The project is helping them realise they can be leaders too.”
Sneakers and bras can be left at Boort BRIC.
