Sport is used at many levels - individual, communal, and internationally. It is used in places all around the world from soccer fields in South Africa to basketball courts in Jerusalem.

Dear Meeghan,
Its my pleasure to visit your profile here.
We can be good friend and partners in common issues.
Peace."Vasudev kutumbkam" entire world is a family, this was a teaching of our Indian culture and tradition.
We created countries, boundaries,religions.But this is the time to realize that we are one, our source of life and breath is same , we naturally interconnected with each other.When we understand this simple thing then we must understand how our and other's life is equally important, valuable and respectable.God has given us a human life to look after the wellbeing of all living life in this planet.
