International Sports Moitri Peace Circle gathers youth for sports like volleyball, physical activities, yoga, and athletics. Their focus today is marginalized women in Kolkata, but their dream is to go beyond. Given that sports promote teamwork, members of the International Sports Moitri Peace Circle expect that coming from different religious backgrounds to work together as one team, participants will be able to know each other, increase their understanding, and find their differences something to celebrate. Hence, they will build bridges among different religions and communities.
