Interview with Ms. Shutz
She has traveled overseas to Berma and Tailand where she worked in refugee camps in children.
Having the experience of being a PE teacher and coach, she trained volunteers in the camps on how to work with the children.
Ms. Shutz’s husband is an engineer so he helped in constructing the soccer fields, basketball courts, and the offices of volunteers
She said the best part of being in these camps was talking to the families and children as well as having children following you around all day.
After each game, we sat in a circle and asked the students some questions about the difficulties of each game and how it felt to help their peers.
Right To Play has refugee camps in many countries of the world including China, Peru, Ethiopia, Ghana, Kenya, Lebanon, Liberia, Thailand, and Pakistan.
What is a Right To Play "Play Day"?
Not only do they focus on promoting sport and play for development, they also put on health forums in villages to educate communities on how they can prevent diseases from spreading.
The goal is to create an environment where children can play together and learn about games and activities from around the world.
It is a circuit format of fun games and activities for a class or classes to play.
An educational experience for the students where they can undertsand the importance of healthy choices in life.

A lack of funding in schools, gender discrimination, and a limited supply of resources all contribute to children not being able to play sports.
Right to Play
"Play Day"
The games were picked based on the capabilities of the students. We were positively surprised at how well they understood each activity.
After weeks of preparation, the big day finally arrived. We held a Play Day for the Bases students at our school.
We did a presentation in which we introduced ourselves and our goal for the day. We asked questions and the students responded with enthusiasm.
