London Olympics International Inspiration Launched in Ethiopia

LOCOG, London 2012 Organising Committee made announcement regarding the launch of International Inspiration, the legacy programme of London 2012 in Ethiopia. The official launch of this programme had been done with the signing of agreement between Ethiopian and UK Government.

The event was marked with the participation of 4000 local children in association with the organizers of Great Ethiopian Run.

London 2012 Olympics International Inspiration will use sport for the promotion of inclusion in Ethiopia by reaching girls and marginalized children. Thus, it enables schools all across UK and Ethiopia for linking and share culture and learning.

Haile Gebrselassie, the two time Olympic gold medallist marked its attendance during the launch, as he said, “Communities are brought together through sport and play, and I’m thrilled that International Inspiration will be working with the Ethiopian Government to ensure schools and communities are engaging young people in physical education, sport and play.”
