Insight: November 2012

This issue of Insight focuses on teamwork through sporting achievements and how members of our community worldwide are involved with sports. The articles document such inspiring sports personalities as the ladies badminton team in Toronto and the recognised professional golfer Sarfaraz Daya. The interview with Dr Jiwa explains how he envisages sport as a method to interact with the community and the importance of having regular sporting events such as the annual Mulla Asghar Memorial Tournament. Of course one of the sporting highlights this year has been the London 2012 Olympics which has offered a plethora of opportunities for the community, particularly those in and around London to be involved and to be recognised. Sibtain Damji was one of those individuals within our community who was recognised for his efforts in for his local community and
was honoured to carry the Olympic torch in his hometown, Peterborough. We also learn of the background of the modern day Olympic Games and its inspiration.
