sport helps refugees – Ethnic Council of Shepparton and District

We want all refugees to have better access to sporting opportunities. Sport is not only fun. It helps refugees, to heal and to rebuild their lives. UNHCR calls for all refugees to have access to sport and opportunity to fulfil their dreams, on and off the field.
