Biography
Gymnastics, although being one of the world's most popular sports, is very under-developed in Mauritius. Since the early 2000s, the Sly Ninjas Gymnastics Club (SNG) has been toiling to develop the sports in Mauritius but the difficulties are countless, ranging from financial and infrastructural issues to lack of support from authorities. The SNG Club and the freshly established gymnastics federation in Mauritius have been devoting much of its time and have put immense efforts in creating other clubs in different regions in Mauritius. So far, we have more than 300 children and youth training gymnastics, we have organized more than 15 gymnastics competitions and we have been able to purchase different gymnastics equipment. After so much efforts in the field, we have produced outstanding gymnasts and we want to participate for our very first time in an international gymnastics competition. The opportunity we have before us is the Scalabis Cup 2016 which will be held in Portugal. We are planning to send a team of 3 gymnasts and a coach to take part in this international event and we are sure to gain invaluable experience at this competition which will further enable us to develop gymnastics in Mauritius. Due to our critical financial situation, we are hereby making an appeal to the world gymnastics community, gymnastics lovers and supporters, all the people who loves our small island Mauritius and the public at large to contribute as much as you can. The cost for one participant is estimated to amount to EUR 1,250 (including air ticket and accommodation). The total cost for all the participants will thus be EUR 5,750( including platform cost + transaction fee). We rely on your generous contributions, please.
