“Sport can offer better than the individual performance, it can help achieve a collective and social target; in a way, I consider it a normal pay back to the community for all the good things sport brought to me. Now, day after day, through Peace and Sport, I feel the strength of sport and how much it can change the mentalities and habits. Contributing to peace is the most beautiful fight sport can offer. And this fight, we need to win it together.”

Joël Bouzou, at the Millennium Development Goals Awards 2010 in New-York
