💬 Navigating Perspectives
Sonika Sanju Kumar's story is a powerful testament to the trans formative power of sports. Born with HIV, she faced immense stigma and discrimination. However, the running track became her sanctuary, a place where her abilities, not her HIV status, defined her. Her journey began in 2009 when Elvis Joseph introduced sports to the children at Sneha Care Home, leading her to the "Champion in Me" program.
A Movement of Empowerment
"Champion in Me," founded by Elvis Joseph and the Bangalore Schools Sports Foundation (BSSF), is more than just a sports initiative; it's a movement. Recognising the need for an empowering platform for children living with HIV, Elvis integrated sports, education, and skill development to foster holistic growth. The program's annual sports meets, customised training, and mentorship create an inclusive environment where participants can thrive.
Shattering Barriers on the Global Stage
Manik Prabhu's journey to representing India at the International Children's Games in the Netherlands exemplifies the program's impact. Despite facing ostracism due to his HIV-positive status, Manik discovered his athletic talent through "Champion in Me." With Elvis's guidance, he honed his skills and proudly represented his country on an international stage. Participants have also competed in marathons in Boston, Colombo, and Bangkok, earning recognition for their resilience.
Building Character and Community
"Sports build character and discipline," Elvis emphasises. "Champion in Me" has transformed the lives of over 40,000 youth in Karnataka by providing them with the right to play and a platform to showcase their talents. The program fosters inclusivity, challenges misconceptions, and creates a ripple effect of awareness and advocacy. Testimonials from families highlight the program's role in building self-esteem, resilience, and a sense of community.
