SPECIAL CORRESPONDENTS FOR WORLD GAMES ABU DHABI MEET UK’S SOMERSET CRICKET TEAM

– By Bilal Hafeez, with contributions from Brendyn Monsorate & Christopher Swaminathan

With the start of Special Olympics World Games Abu Dhabi 2019 just a few days away, the World Games’ team of special correspondents sat down to meet the players and coaches of Somerset Cricket Club.

The UK team was in the UAE capital to show its support for the Special Olympics movement and to enjoy a warm-weather pre-season training camp.

Special correspondents, Brendyn Monsorate, Bilal Hafeez and Christopher Swaminathan – popularly known as the ‘BBC’ by their initials – met up with the team to get their views on the upcoming World Games and how sport can empower people to achieve their dreams.

Andrew Cornish, CEO of Somerset CC, said: “It’s not just participation in the sport but everything that goes with it. It’s the media – written and social media — which plays a really, really, important part.

“It’s only your ambition or your desire that holds you back or drives you forward. People of determination all around the world demonstrate this every day.”

Andrew said he was thrilled to be able to meet Brendyn, Bilal and Christopher during his time in UAE capital and to see how preparations for the World Games Abu Dhabi are shaping up.

“I’m loving it, being with these boys [the Somerset team] and also getting an opportunity to meet the ‘BBC’.

“I congratulate this Middle Eastern ‘BBC’ trio for being part of such a global event. They have set a new benchmark for people of determination all around the world from the UAE, to the UK and beyond,” he said.

Somerset all-rounder Ben Green said he was impressed by the facilities and opportunities that are available for athletes and individuals with intellectual disabilities in the UAE and would like to see this reflected back home in the UK.

“In Somerset, we have the Disabled Cricket Organisation and it’s accessible for everyone.

“One of the highlights of Somerset Cricket Club is its indoor training facility. It’s all geared up just for boys and men right now, it’s not geared up for girls and women, it’s not geared up for physical disability or visually impaired people, so there’s a big piece of work to be done there.”

Ben added that he believed Specials Olympics World Games Abu Dhabi 2019 will help to create a world of new and exciting opportunities for people of determination in all walks of life, from sports to forging professional careers.

Set to begin on March 14th, the World Games Abu Dhabi is a major milestone for the UAE and the Middle East as a whole.

A sense of camaraderie, inclusivity and unity is flourishing across the capital as people from across the world prepare to take part in the biggest World Games in the history of the Special Olympics and the first World Games to be held in the region.

SPECIAL OLYMPICS EMPLOYS THREE PEOPLE OF DETERMINATION AS JOURNALISTS FOR WORLD GAMES

Young people of determination will form part of the Special Olympics World Games Abu Dhabi 2019’s media team after three individuals were recruited to cover the upcoming event in March.

Bilal Hafeez, Christopher Swaminathan and Brendyn Monsorate have been employed as paid members of the Special Olympics World Games Abu Dhabi 2019 Local Organizing Committee (LOC) and will work within the World Games Unified Press Office. As part of their new role, they will report on the largest sports and humanitarian event of the year.

Bilal, Christopher and Brendyn will source and write stories about the thousands of inspiring people of determination who are participating in the Games. Their stories will be sent to news outlets across the globe along with their bylines, so they receive recognition for their work.

The three men have been developing their skills at Al Noor Training Centre under the guidance of a Dubai based Media Expert Dr. Amit Kakkar.

The LOC of the World Games has been working to champion diversity across the region, leading the way by increasing access to employment opportunities for people of determination, with 12 people of determination employed in various roles across the LOC.

Bilal, 34, from Pakistan, has Cerebral Palsy and works as a graphic designer at Abela and Co. He is currently writing an autobiography.

Brendyn, 19, Indian Expat, who has Down Syndrome, is keen to work in the entertainment industry and is currently undertaking training in the Al Noor Work Placement Unit.

Christopher, 25, a Sri Lankan, also has Down Syndrome and is interested in technology and electronics. He is currently doing an internship at the Assistive Technology Department of Al Noor. The three men are affectionately known in the Al Noor Training Centre as ‘The BBC’ because of their first names and connection with the media.

The addition of Bilal, Christopher and Brendyn to the World Games Unified Press Office re-emphasizes why Special Olympics World Games Abu Dhabi 2019 will be the most unified Games in the 50-year history of the Special Olympics movement, with people of determination included in every aspect of the planning and delivery of the event – including helping to develop the concept behind the Opening Ceremony.

Bilal said: “I could never imagine that one day I will be meeting and interviewing People of Determination who will be coming from around the world to participate at the Special Olympics World Games. This recognition is an amazing feeling for me and cannot wait to report on this mega event.”

Christopher said: “Special Olympics World Games Abu Dhabi 2019 will give me the kind of exposure I have been looking for and the experience of reporting for the Special Olympics World Games which will be one of the best moments of my life.”

Brendyn said: “I am eagerly waiting to be a part of Special Olympics World Games Abu Dhabi 2019 where I will be working as a special correspondent. I am very excited and determined to show the world that everything is possible.”

Dr. Amit Kakkar added: “It is my biggest achievement that Brendyn, Bilal and Christopher, the BBC as I fondly call them, have been chosen to report on Special Olympics World Games Abu Dhabi 2019. I have passed on my skills to all three of them and now it is time for them to exhibit their journalistic skills.”

The UAE will welcome more than 7,500 athletes from over 190 nations for Special Olympics World Games Abu Dhabi 2019 between 14-21 March. They will compete in 24 officially sanctioned Olympic-style sports in what will be the first World Games to be held in the Middle East.

About Special Olympics World Games Abu Dhabi 2019  

Under the patronage of His Highness Sheikh Mohamed Bin Zayed Al Nahyan, the Crown Prince of Abu Dhabi and Deputy Supreme Commander of the UAE’s Armed Forces, Special Olympics World Games Abu Dhabi 2019 is an integral part of local, national and regional plans to expand opportunities for people of determination in line with Abu Dhabi and the UAE’s shared vision of a unified and inclusive society.

Special Olympics World Games Abu Dhabi will be the largest sports and humanitarian event in the world in 2019. From 14 – 21 March, over 7,500 athletes and 3,000 coaches, representing more than 190 nations, will participate in 24 officially sanctioned Olympic-style sports in world-class venues throughout Abu Dhabi and Dubai.
