President of the Guyana Volleyball Federation (GVF) Lenox Shuffler, who attended the FIVB World Congress 2012 in Anaheim, Los Angeles, California in a release, reported that the Meeting, which was attended by 206 federations worldwide, was both positive and productive.
At a special meeting for Levels 1 and 2 Federations, the reports from various countries showed how the new direction of FIVB, with its development fund, was helping in a positive way.
Shuffler in his presentation ‘Promoting Friendship, Influencing Change’ pointed to the many friends that FIVB has created by this new approach since development requires time, effort, finance, passion and patience, but without finance many of the other areas will falter.
At the Congress, Dr Ary Graca from Brazil was elected the new President of the world body, while Shuffler was also able to get Brazil to agree in principle to be ‘Big Brother’ to Guyana and the South American Federation CSV for a South American Zonal Association that will include the federation of Amapa, Cayenne, Suriname, Guyana and Boa Vista in order to promote greater activity at lower cost.
Guyana recently benefited from the fund after receiving a world class Taraflex floor from Gerflor and funding for a four-year nationwide schools programme that will see the game being introduced to 400 schools that will also be provided with balls, nets and training material.
Already 67 schools have participated in the programme, while another 44 is expected to benefit in this first year.
Nicholas Fraser, Head of the Physical Education Department of the Ministry of Education is coordinating this programme along with the GVF.
Please share this to every Guyanese including your house cats.
