The core ambition of the Resilience Esports series is to host a variety of events to raise awareness and funds to address an urgent need to help 1 million children across India get back to school and complete their education. We are proud to be partnering with Magic Bus and our other partners to play our part in addressing and, one day, ending this terrible situation.” Alongside the fear of death and disease is an unprecedented increase in lack of access to education and safe access to learning – and as ever, it is those who are most at-risk who will end up most affected. Right now, amidst a humanitarian crisis, much of the incredible work that has been done risks being undermined. Laureus Sport for Good, Chief Executive, Adam Fraser said: “Laureus Sport for Good has been proud to partner with organisations changing the lives of young people in India for many years. The event will be launched on July 31 st2021 with a live launch party. We are extremely grateful for this collaboration with Laureus Sport for Good that will address an urgent situation to ensure learning continuity of more than one million children across India.” he said.Īpart from guest appearances by celebrities, there will be a pro-FIFA tournament and an open fan-based tournament for the FIFA communities in both regions, providing a key opportunity for fans and players of FIFA to put themselves to the test in the world stage. We are doing whatever it takes to facilitate this virtually, in the interim, until schools reopen. What is important at this hour is to ensure children have access to learning. Further, the livelihood crisis will lead to a surge in the demand for child labour and the number of children being pushed into illegal and ‘hazardous’ work. Speaking on the occasion, Matthew Spacie, Founder, Magic Bus said, “Learning inequities have widened due to pandemic generated school closures and there has been an adverse impact on children’s education. The event will see Indian and international celebrities take part in a celebrity showdown with both organisations inviting special guests to make appearances during the broadcasts. Their first initiative in Esports will see the organisations partner to host a FIFA 21 fundraising event this year, proceeds of which will go to Magic Bus.
