It is with great pride that we reflect on our work and accomplishments every year, and 2011 is no exception. We continue to grow both our reach and our positive impact in the lives of children and communities worldwide.

It is thanks to the dedication of our global staff, volunteers and partner organizations that we now reach 835,000 children in regular weekly programming. This annual report highlights our results in 2011, as well as stories from around the world. It is also recognition of our supporters, partners and donors. Without them, none of our achievements would be possible.

Promoting gender equality remains an important part of our work, and in 2011 half of the children in our programs and 50% of our Coaches were females. Their inclusion in play is leading to change.

In Jordan, for example, a young Right To Play Coach named Mayyada lives in a very traditional community where the culture discourages women from working. After her father died, she says it was Right To Play that gave her the courage and the confidence to believe she could take care of herself and her mother. As a Coach, she is teaching that strength and self-confidence to other girls every day.

Similarly, in places like Pakistan, growing numbers of young, confident female Junior Leaders embody the transformative impact we are having in the lives of girls and young women. Frequently, girls are left out or not given the opportunities they deserve. Right To Play is dedicated to changing this and ensuring that every female has the opportunity to reach her potential.

In 2011, we conducted an organization-wide gender audit to measure our own level of gender awareness, and we created a gender equality training resource. Although sport is a powerful vehicle for education and change, it can also have a less positive side. Through proper training of our staff and Coaches, we are confident that they are equipped with the skills to successfully use play to promote gender equality and protect girls.

Like in Mayyada’s case, for every individual that we educate and empower to spread gender awareness, we are creating one more positive role model that children can look up to.

We also look to athletes to guide and inspire the children in our programs, which is why we were so excited in November 2011, when the Chelsea Football Club took to the pitch wearing our logo. Not only are the words “Right To Play” emblazoned on the back of Chelsea’s UEFA Champions League jerseys an incredible boost to our brand, it shows the children in our programs that they are not forgotten, but celebrated and supported by their heroes.

Together we are creating change. Inspirational young women like Mayyada are the future of their countries. For all of the girls and boys in our programs, and the men and women who coach them, play is an opportunity to find happiness today and hope for tomorrow.

We are ever more motivated by our results and our potential to grow. Thank you all for your unwavering dedication. It is because of your enduring support that Right To Play can transform the lives of so many children around the world through play. Sincerely,

Johann Olav KossPresident and CEO

Rob MeyersChair, International Board of Directors

MESSAGE FROM OUR CEO AND CHAIR OF THE INTERNATIONAL bOARD

our reach

WHAT IS RIGHT TO PLAY?Right To Play is a global organization that uses the transformative power of play to educate and empower children facing adversity. It was founded in 2000 by Johann Olav Koss, a four-time Olympic gold medalist and social entrepreneur. Through sports and games, we help children build essential life-skills and better futures, while driving social change in their communities with lasting impact.

WHO HAS THE RIGHT TO PLAY?Right To Play promotes the involvement of all children and youth. We believe that the power of play can transform a child’s life. That’s why we are working in the most disadvantaged areas engaging girls, persons with disabilities, children affected by HIV and AIDS, street children, former child combatants and refugees.

WHAT DO WE DO? WE EDUCATE.We Help Children Learn. We improve academic performance by using games as a tool for education, fostering physical, cognitive and social development.

We Promote Health by encouraging physical fitness, mobilizing communities around national health issues, and educating about disease prevention priorities including HIV and AIDS, malaria and immunization.

We build Peace by teaching conflict resolution and peace building skills, while helping heal children and communities affected by war.

We Develop Communities by engaging local staff and volunteers and partnering with local organizations to build infrastructure.

WHO HAVE WE REACHED?Today, we are reaching 835,000 children in regular weekly activities. Almost 50% of those children are female. By the end of 2012, we have a goal of reaching one million children on a weekly basis. Right To Play is in more than 20 countries including Benin, Burundi, China, Ethiopia, Ghana, Jordan, Kenya, Lebanon, Liberia, Mali, Mozambique, Pakistan, Palestinian Territories (West Bank and Gaza), Peru, Rwanda, South Sudan, Tanzania, Thailand and Uganda. We have three pilot programs in Canada, Norway and the United States.

HOW DO WE DO IT?Our programs are facilitated by 590 international staff and nearly 12,000 volunteer Coaches. Coaches are local leaders and teachers who are trained in our specially designed programming. They implement the programs based on the needs of their communities. We also encourage leadership at all ages by providing youth with unique opportunities. Junior Leaders, some as young as eight-years-old, become empowered through participating in Right To Play programs.

Right To Play’s approach goes beyond individual capacity-building to include investments in partnerships – local, national and international. by collaborating with dedicated community members such as teachers, early childhood educators, and staff from other local implementing organizations, Right To Play helps to ensure the establishment of strong and lasting relationships and the long-term sustainability of our work.

INTEGRATING CULTURES TO ENSURE LOCAL FIT AND RELEVANCEWhen designing programs, Right To Play first completes a thorough assessment to understand both the needs and assets of the community. Each program is then tailored to fit these needs and leverage the resources of the community in consultation with expert educators, local partners, and community members including parents and children.

PIONEERING APPROACH TO ExPERIENTIAL LEARNING Right To Play’s approach ensures that both children and communities are able to put into practice the skills and attitudes learned through our programs. A key aspect of Right To Play’s methodology is the Experiential Learning Cycle, which is a teaching/learning strategy that guides learners through a three-step processing of their experience:

• Reflect - The learner considers: What did I just experience? Young children are taught the vocabulary to share their ideas and feelings and to respect the ideas and feelings of their peers.

• Connect - The learner considers: How does this experience relate to earlier ones? How does it connect to what I already know, believe or feel? Does it reinforce or expand my view?

• Apply - The learner considers: How can I use what I have learned from this experience? How can I use it in similar situations? How can I use this learning to benefit myself, my community?

A DELIVERY MODEL THAT bUILDS LOCAL CAPACITY AND SUSTAINAbILITY To ensure quality implementation of our programs, Right To Play developed a delivery model that is focused on local capacity building and is easily adapted whether we are working directly with communities, through schools or through partner organizations. Right To Play’s delivery model is based on the principle that each level acts as mentor and teacher to the level below. For example, the model shows Projects Coordinators (PCs) at the top, who are responsible for the skills and leadership training of the Supervisors at the next level.

MONITORING AND EVALUATING FOR CONTINUAL IMPROVEMENT Right To Play systematically gathers and analyzes information from all project locations for the purpose of measuring our impact and to improve our programs, their delivery and project planning.

Right To Play’s programs incorporate a methodology that uses sport and play as tools for learning in four areas:

• We Help Children Learn. Our programs foster the physical, mental and social development of children to teach important values and life skills.

• We Promote Health. Our programs are used to educate and mobilize communities around national health and disease prevention priorities, including HIV and AIDS, malaria and immunization.

• We build Peace. Our programs are tools for teaching conflict resolution and peace building skills. Participation in regular activities facilitates the healing of communities and reintegration of children affected by war.

• We Develop Communities. To create change and have a sustainable impact, we work in partnership with local organizations to build community infrastructure through the engagement of local staff and local and international volunteers.

THEORY OF bEHAVIOUR CHANGERight To Play’s ultimate goal is to encourage behaviour change. This complex process involves more than simple knowledge and awareness building. Behaviour change involves acquiring skills to adopt and maintain behaviours and attitudes such as self-esteem, resistance to peer-pressure, resolving conflict peacefully and the ability to problem-solve.

Right To Play’s methodology ensures that both children and communities are able to put into practice the skills and attitudes learned through our programs. Our innovative methodology is founded on a unique understanding of social learning theory and child development needs.

SUPPORTIVE ENVIRONMENT

Right To Play builds capacity of community members to:

• Be mentors and role models to children and young people.

• Increase awareness on how to support behaviour change.

• Use play to mobilize and strengthen links between schools and community-based organizations.

• Improve sport infrastructure and policy.

KEY FACTORS IN bEHAVIOUR CHANGE

• Creating and Maintaining Supportive Environments. Role models, family, Coaches, teachers, peers and Right To Play Athlete Ambassadors play an important role in helping people adopt new behaviours.

• Developing Essential Life Skills. These skills include the ability to manage stress, resist peer-pressure, communicate assertively, make decisions, set goals, motivate and lead others.

• Repeating Activities. Allowing children the chance to practice skills, knowledge, and attitudes, contributes to behaviour change.

• Adopting Healthy Attitudes. Gaining self-esteem and confidence, hope and optimism, empathy and compassion, and motivation helps to shift behaviours.

• Acquiring Knowledge About Issues. Children acquire facts about HIV and AIDS, risk reduction behaviours, and the impacts of stigma.

Play is a powerful tool and is about more than fun and games. Play is a tool for learning and we are seeing improved academic performance, increased participation and school attendance, as well as better student-teacher interaction.

bETTER LEARNING FOR TEACHERS AND STUDENTSIn Peru, where we reached more than 4,800 children in 2011, our programs focus on getting young people in school and improving the quality of their learning. School principals say there is a significant improvement in the education being provided by Right To Play-trained teachers, and reports show that our activities are helping to foster stronger, more collaborative relationships in the classroom, which is creating a secure learning environment that encourages students to express themselves and make their voices heard.

Contributing to a safer school environment is creating change halfway around the globe as well. In Mozambique, our 2011 in-school programs reached 40,000 children across 56 schools. Teachers, Coaches and children all report that regular Right To Play activities have made those schools more child friendly, safe and engaging, which means more children are going to school and staying.

POWER OF PLAY ENDORSED bY GOVERNMENTS WORLDWIDE Working closely with local authorities, Right To Play has made significant strides in having our play-based programming integrated into several national curriculums.

With no early childhood education scheme for more than 20 years, we have helped the government of Benin develop an early childhood education curriculum, which was rolled out nationwide in 2011. Encouragingly, teachers and parents say they have already observed a significant impact both on children’s development and learning, both at school and at home.

Those results are a testament to the power of play, which is being recognized in Rwanda as well. The Ministry of Education has approved our activities for use in primary schools nationwide, and we are helping to develop a national physical education and health curriculum to be piloted in 2012.

Continents away, our Burmese Refugee Program in Thailand runs activities in 57 camp schools at least twice a week, reaching more than 17,000 young people. On account of the program’s success, the Thai Ministry of Education has adopted our Red Ball Child Play resource as the basis of all refugee camp schools’ Physical Education curriculum.

WE HELP CHILDREN LEARN

Children that have been forced

to evacuate their homes require specific needs to ensure

their safety and well-being. While food, shelter and sanitation

facilities are essential, so are opportunities for staying active and engaged while interacting

with other children.Michael Albert, Country Manager, Right To Play

in Thailand

RESPONDING TO CRISISWhen extreme flooding devastated areas of Thailand in 2011, we were quick to respond.

Working in Evacuation Centres in the Chon Buri province, we set up safe, child-friendly spaces and quickly developed a special program for 700 children in the shelters, including an emergency workshop to train volunteers, staff and youth leaders to run play programming. Our activities not only offered an escape from the stress of being evacuated, but also provided children in the centres with an educational outlet until they could return home.

As a result of this action, the Thai Ministry of Education has asked Right To Play to develop an educational resource that will be part of disaster preparedness plans.

Right To Play has responded to the educational needs of children in crisis in China as well. After a massive earthquake struck the northwest in April 2010, Right To Play China’s Post-Disaster Child Rehabilitation and Development Program focused on supporting children affected by the quake. To improve access to education, in 2011 we constructed an activity centre, where more than 400 children under the age of six now have a safe place to play and learn. To improve quality of education, we have trained 80 kindergarten and primary school teachers, and further trained more than 340 parents to help them better understand their children’s needs.

After Right To Play

came to the school, you could see results that

the children had improved, understood better and were more enlightened. The class marks have gone up as well

EDUCATION

WE PROMOTE HEALTH

Not only can play keep us healthy through exercise and having fun, it is also an opportunity to spread messages about practicing good hygiene, disease awareness and prevention. be it through a game of Mosquito Tag that teaches about malaria, or the Wash Hands song that educates on basic hygiene, our sport and play-based activities are specially designed to teach children about their health and how to adopt new, healthier lifestyles and behaviours.

IMPROVING LIbERIAN CHILDREN’S HEALTH THROUGH PLAY In Liberia, children’s knowledge and attitudes around HIV and AIDS are positively correlated with how long they have been participating in our activities – the longer they play, the higher they score – and those positive attitudes have the power to impact entire communities. An evaluation completed in Liberia in 2011 shows that:

• 89% of Right To Play participants correctly answered questions on how HIV is transmitted.

• 73% of children correctly rejected myths of HIV and AIDS. A previous baseline evaluation revealed that children held a lot of misconceptions around HIV and AIDS.

• 81% of participants felt people living with HIV and AIDS should receive the same treatment as others, and 70% expressed their willingness to be in the same classroom as an infected peer.

HEALTHY HANDS: IT’S AS SIMPLE AS A SONGLiberian parents have also noticed a change in their children’s behaviour: they are asking for soap and water to wash their hands before they eat. It may seem simple, but thousands of children die each year from diseases that can be prevented through proper hygiene. Our health-focused games teach children the importance of basic health practices, and lessons like the Wash Hands song, are getting stuck in their heads. The simple instructional tune introduced by Right To Play, has spread into schools, homes and the wider community. Children tell us that they sing the song regularly outside of Coach-run activities, and their parents say the same – they have learned the song too and sing it with their kids.

While a song helps children remember the lesson, their ability to put into practice what they have learned is crucial to improving health. In Rwanda, we have provided schools with water tanks so that students have reliable access to clean water to practice better hygiene. In Benin and Pakistan, we have constructed toilet and hand washing facilities – for girls in particular – to ensure they have the infrastructure necessary to make their health and hygiene a priority.

HEALTH: MORE THAN DISEASE PREVENTION Our relationship with nature has become a health priority for our refugee camp programs in Lebanon. In April 2011, we took more than 200 children beyond the confines of the Shatila Refugee Camp to a public green space on the outskirts of Beirut to celebrate World Health Day. For children growing up in the stress of a refugee setting, the freedom of the outdoors is a chance to draw important parallels between the environment and personal well-being.

At Right To Play, we believe it is the people in a community that make it whole. Through our programs, we work to empower individuals with the hope, leadership skills and sense of responsibility that inherently leads to a sense of community.

By giving individuals the tools to help build their communities, we are investing in local people and building effective, sustainable programs that will benefit children and their communities for years to come.

OUR COACHES ARE GUIDING THE TEAM Our Coaches are local volunteers who are trained to implement our activities in their communities, but being a Right To Play Coach is about much more than leading games. Being a Coach is being a role model and a leader. Providing leadership, support and play, our 12,000 Coaches worldwide help young people develop the critical life skills necessary to become active citizens; they engage adult community members in our programs, and create a network of positive and capable adult role models for the entire community.

JUNIOR LEADERS MAKE THEIR MARKWe believe that a community’s future hinges on the participation of its young people. That’s why we are proud to talk about our 5,000 trained Right To Play Junior Leaders around the world. The primary goal of our Junior Leader Approach is to provide opportunities for young people to make their own decisions and rise to the challenge of leadership. We have seen this increase their participation at home, in school and in the community.

In Ethiopia, young people are embracing the opportunity to lead. From 2010 to 2011, our number of Junior Leaders increased from 160 to 280 – nearly half of which are females. Even more impressive are their actions: these Junior Leaders are now facilitating full sessions by themselves – from opening to closing discussions, including the ‘Reflect-Connect-Apply’ methodology. Junior Leaders are making their mark on the health of their communities as well.

In the Palestinian Territories, after a Youth As Leader training at the Siris Boys’ School, students launched an Environmental Club that raised enough funds through local advocacy to purchase garbage bins and trees to plant at their school and in the surrounding area.

These exceptional young leaders are active decision-makers and role models, and through spreading the lessons they have learned through play, they are impacting their entire communities.

SEEING CHANGE IN THE SERENGETISince our program launched in Tanzania’s Serengeti District in 2005, we have started to see real change in the communities where we are working.

To foster a sense of community, locals need somewhere to gather to chat and exchange stories. As a result of our play programs, the Serengeti District has benefited from the creation of 29 safe play spaces in schools and at community centres, where kids are free to play and local residents can gather to spend time with their children and neighbours.

Aldair is a Right To Play Junior Leader, and a dedicated one at that.

In Ruriquilca, he leads groups of children in Right To Play activities that teach valuable lessons about confidence, teamwork and determination in life.

“ I am excited … to be a role model for my family, school, and community.”

And a role model he is. Aldair captivates his young audience with his enthusiasm, and even has his younger brother following in his footsteps. The 14-year-old has joined Right To Play, and can usually be found alongside his big brother, helping out. The young leader is even influencing his father.

“My father is learning from me,” says Aldair.

“ He is definitely becoming more open and communicative with me and my brothers.”

*Results from Uganda Right To Play Evaluation in 2011

Peace is not only measured by the absence of war. To build sustainable peace requires investment in children’s resiliency and their ability to reconcile, rehabilitate and reintegrate. We use the power of play to help children living in war-torn areas and communities plagued by cultural tensions, to become more resilient, improving their ability to cope with and thrive amidst adversity.

GIVING CHILDREN STRENGTH For refugee children in Quetta and Peshawar, Pakistan, being able to play is helping to improve their alertness, confidence, patience, discipline and emotional control – all of which are essential to a child’s resiliency. Children in the area, where we have been active since 2003, report that they are now better able to manage their anger and resolve conflicts without resorting to violence.

We are also working to create more protective environments for refugee children, and our results show that we have made a noticeable contribution to making school environments more child-friendly, helping children build bonds with one another and encouraging more supportive roles for adults. We see more kindness, peace and harmony both in school and at home.

A REFUGE FROM CONFLICT, A PLACE TO bUILD PEACEBurundi is one of the world’s poorest countries, devastated by decades of ethnic violence and civil war that has left more than 600,000 people displaced. While today, officially there is peace, the mass repatriation of Burundian refugees to their homeland has created a new breed of tension. Working in the East African country since 2008, our programs are focused on bringing communities together again and building their ability to sustain the programs themselves.

Local partners and sports federations have begun integrating our activities into their programming as a way of helping young people adjust, which means we have laid the groundwork for sustainable impact.

In 2011, friendly, community-organized sport competitions were held in Burundi to promote peace. Results showed that 86% of children, youth and parents interviewed demonstrated a good understanding of the events’ messages and a commitment to peace.

Through play, we are helping refugee children in Burundi and around the world develop the valuable peace building skills that will help to ensure a history of violence does not repeat itself.

WE bUILD PEACE

Thirteen-year-old Mostafa is a Palestinian refugee living in Lebanon. Accustomed to a life surrounded by conflict and tension, the young man says the sight of other children running away from him made him happy – made him feel like a leader.

“ I felt secure and satisfied to beat and bully others,” says Mostafa. “But I knew they didn’t love me.”

It was 20-year-old Aras, an Iraqi refugee, who helped change the young bully. A Right To Play Coach, Aras met Mostafa at A’amel, a community-based association that runs play programs for Lebanese youth, as well as Palestinian and Iraqi refugees.

Participating in sport and play-based activities with Aras, Mostafa says he learned the importance of kindness and teamwork.

No one is more grateful for this change of heart than Mostafa’s 10-year-old brother, Baqer, who is a regular Right To Play participant too.

“During the activities I gained a new friend,” says Baqer. “My brother.”

No longer bullied by Mostafa, now treated as his equal, Baqer says his brother’s actions have taught him a lot about dealing with others.

“We don’t have to be big to be leaders,” says Baqer. “ It is the way we speak and behave that makes a difference.”

CONFLICT RESOLUTION

The inclusion of girls in play activities and the wider empowerment of women are among our most important priorities. Females represent half of the world’s population and in order for any community or country to thrive, we believe it is crucial that girls and women have equal opportunity to grow and contribute in society. Our programs are designed to level the playing field for girls and help them reach their full potential and at the same time, build awareness in men and boys about girls’ right to play.

GETTING GIRLS INVOLVED In 2011, we maintained an average overall female participation rate of 50% for both children in our activities and female Coaches across programs – but gender equality does not happen overnight.

When our programs started in South Sudan, girls were not participating in sport and play, but years of community awareness events and the recruitment of inspiring female Coaches and Junior Leaders has led to real change. Since 2009, girls’ participation has nearly doubled, and today more than 40% of our program participants are female.

Empowering females through play is also creating sustainable, self-perpetuating change. In Lebanon, our community activities and training sessions are developing female leaders who are inspiring a younger generation. One such woman, Um Hussein, has mobilized her peers in Rachidiyeh Camp to join Right To Play activities. She has even involved her two daughters – thanks to mom’s leadership, they are incredible volunteers and Coaches themselves.

PLAYING TO HER STRENGTHSIn the Palestinian Territories, girls are promoting their own participation in play. In the community of Billin, we gave local girls a chance to play sports once a week. Today, participants are calling for more sport and play programs for girls, and valuable community support is growing. While cultural beliefs can hinder female participation, local partners who once hesitated, are now endorsing our female empowerment-themed Play Days and are helping to create safe, appropriate play spaces for girls.

“WE GIRLS CAN ACHIEVE A LOT IF WE ARE GIVEN THE OPPORTUNITIES…” Eighteen-year-old Orphélia Fanou is a Right To Play Junior Leader in Ouidah, Benin. After just a year as one of our young leaders, this once shy girl is a living example of how play can empower.

“ With Right To Play, I have learned to be self-confident, to cooperate with other people and to speak in public,” Orphélia says.

“Right To Play helped me become a better person.”

Through participation in our Basketball for Development, Youth As Leader and Team Up! trainings, Orphélia has become a true leader and role model. Elected as a student representative for her school, Orphélia has taken on a leadership role in community campaigns to raise awareness on issues affecting local youth, health and community development.

“ For me, being a girl means having the responsibility of fighting for women’s rights. It’s a must in my community to give women and girls the same opportunities as boys and men... My own experience with Right To Play demonstrates that we girls can achieve a lot if we are given the opportunities to do so.”

WE CHAMPION GENDER EqUALITY

Giving a child the chance to play is only half of the battle – children cannot play and learn effectively if they do not feel safe. Right To Play is dedicated to improving the lives of young people around the world through the power of play. At the core of that mission is the inherent need to protect children, uphold their rights, and encourage active participation, both within our programs and beyond.

PUTTING OUR COMMITMENT ON PAPERIn 2011, we began implementing a new Child Protection Policy organization-wide. Guided by the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child (UNCRC), the policy is at the foundation of our ideology, operations and programming.

As a living document, our Child Protection Policy is always evolving, and we have committed to updating it every three years to adapt and respond to the ever-changing needs of young people growing up in the twenty-first century.

INNOVATION IN PROTECTION: HELPING CHILDREN PROTECT THEMSELVESWhen it comes to child protection, Right To Play is working to make sure some of the loudest voices advocating for children’s rights are children themselves.

In China, we are working closely with focus groups of local children to develop a child-friendly protection policy. The better we can understand what makes young people feel threatened, the better we can help protect them. With feedback from the focus groups, we are translating an otherwise technical development document into simple, concise language that young people can read, comprehend, contribute to and take ownership of.

In Benin, advocating for child protection and child rights is a priority. In response to local challenges, such as outdated beliefs or cultural practices, we have set up Child Saviour Committees as an innovative means of helping children and youth protect themselves. Each committee is made up of local children selected by their peers, a village chief, parent and teacher representatives, a female representative and one local youth. These members are identified by the community and, with support from Right To Play, are trained on child rights and their role in child protection. The committees’ ability to identify important issues and then lead local advocacy and awareness campaigns has brought them both success and influence. For example, in the town of Tori, 15 committees have now been legally recognized. Even more importantly, the young people involved in these committees are learning leadership skills and are empowered to see that they can make a difference in their communities.

WE CREATE A SAFER WORLD FOR CHILDREN

SPOKES & PLAY: PARTNERING WITH CYCLING’S bEST It was a remarkable year for us in the world of cycling. In May 2011, Team NetApp joined the ranks as Right To Play Athlete Ambassadors, adding our logo to their competition jerseys at the Tour of California. We also announced an exciting new global partnership with Specialized Bicycle Components. As a part of its First Gear program, aimed at introducing more kids around the world to cycling, Specialized will help us to establish a number of international fundraising rides through 2012 to benefit children in Right To Play programs.

The year was also marked by an outstanding show of support from one of cycling’s finest. During an incredible season that saw him named to the BBC Sports Personality of the Year, Athlete Ambassador Mark Cavendish used his influence and the popularity of the Tour de France as an opportunity to help raise awareness and funds for Right To Play. An always-dedicated spokesperson, Cavendish donated a competition-ridden bike to Right To Play, as well as a personal meet-and-greet at the flagship Specialized store in London, UK. To complement the Cavendish items, our partner, Team HTC-Highroad, donated a once-in-a-lifetime chance to ride in the team car during the time trial held on the second last stage of the Tour de France. All of these exclusive items were donated to a successful eBay online auction.

MAKING OUR MARK IN A LEAGUE OF CHAMPIONSOn November 1, 2011, Right To Play was introduced to Football fans worldwide, when Chelsea Football Club became the first English club to add a charity’s name to their Champions League jerseys. The debut of our logo marked an exciting new stage in our partnership with the club, which dates back to 2007.

FROM THEIR FIELD TO OURSEach year, we organize opportunities for some of our Athlete Ambassadors to visit our international programs. In the field, the athletes use their stories and skills to inspire children. In return, they have a chance to experience the enormous impact play is having in children’s lives firsthand. Among our most high profile visits in 2011 were American sprinter Allyson Felix’s trip to the Middle East and Canadian Olympians Clara Hughes and Adam van Koeverden’s visit to Mali.

We believe that every child has the right to play. It is the belief upon which Right To Play is founded, and advocating that belief is a vital part of our work. To create real impact, we must target the many circles of influence that shape a child’s learning and behaviour, including family, community, government and society.

We believe that regular activity is essential for the physical, psychological and social development of every child. Not only do children learn through play, it brings joy to those who have experienced difficult lives.Guided by the concept of Sport for Development and Peace, we believe that play is an effective tool for education and health that can improve lives and lead to broader social change. We seek opportunities to advocate Sport for Development and Peace and raiseawareness about the transformative power of play.

STRENGTH IN NUMbERSThe success of any global movement requires collaboration amongst like-minded stakeholders. As such, we are involved in promoting play within multiple coalitions and global partnerships. These include United Against Malaria and the G(irls) 20 Summit. We are also one of eight partners of the International Play Association, advocating for increased recognition of article 31 of the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child (UNHCR) – the right to play.

Our participation in global initiatives such as the Commonwealth Heads of Government Meeting publication, the Good Practice Guide on Development Initiatives Through Football, the Beyond Sport, Peace and Sport Initiative, and the Sport for Development and Peace International Working Group have further helped us increase our ability to promote Sport for Development on a global scale. As a leader in the field, invitations for our CEO Johann Koss to speak at events such as USAID’s roundtable Sport as a Catalyst for Development in September 2011, mean that we continue to play an integral role in shaping the Sport for Development movement.

FROM ADVOCACY TO EDUCATIONIn 2011, we achieved significant success getting governments to recognize and incorporate Sport for Development and activity-based learning into official state programs and curriculums in the countries where we work. Also, we continued to actively promote the incorporation of Sport for Development and Peace into local planning throughout the year with visible results.

In Rwanda, the Board of Education integrated games from our Red Ball Child Play resource into the National Physical Education Guide, including teacher trainings and circulation of the guide in schools nationwide.

To promote healing and reconciliation in Liberia, we partnered with the government to integrate play into the annual National Sport Meet, an event that has, to date, been exclusively focused on competition.

In Ghana, Mali, South Sudan and Burundi, we worked with the government to host Sport for Development forums with local stakeholders. As a result:

• Mali’s Ministry of National Education created a department of Physical Education and Academic Sports as part of the national educational curriculum;

• A working group was created in South Sudan to draft a Bill for Youth and Sport, as well as explore the potential role of sport in the country’s development and peace building;

• Multiple Burundian ministries identified areas that would benefit from sport and play, and developed corresponding plans;

• The joint communiqué from a forum held in Ghana, which outlines Sport for Development-based government strategies, is currently under review.

GOVERNMENT AND UN AGENCY FUNDINGRight To Play would like to thank the following government departments and United Nations Agencies for their generous support of Right To Play projects:

Canadian International Development Agency (CIDA)Netherlands Ministry of Foreign AffairsNetherlands Ministry of SportNorwegian Agency for Development Cooperation (Norad)UK SportUnited Nations Children’s Fund (UNICEF)United Nations Development Programme (UNDP)United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO)United Nations High Commission for Refugees (UNHCR)United Nations Relief and Works Agency (UNRWA)US Agency for International Development (USAID)

ExPANDING THE PLAY AND YOUTH TO YOUTH PROGRAMS The Promoting Life-skills in Aboriginal Youth (PLAY) program expanded from four to 39 First Nations through a $1,000,000 investment by the Ontario Ministry of Aboriginal Affairs (MAA). This increased commitment is a testament to PLAY’s success, as the pilot program was only a year old when we received this additional funding. With the support of the MAA and many new corporate and private funders, the program is having a profound impact in these communities.

The Youth To Youth initiative was implemented in priority schools in three Canadian cities, established a formal partnership with the Toronto District School Board, reached more than 1,000 children through regular activities, and trained over 90 student leaders. Through play activities, Youth To Youth promotes learning and leadership and works to reduce bullying in schools. The program is generously supported by Maple Leaf Sports & Entertainment’s charitable arm, the MLSE Team Up Foundation.

OUR CHAMPIONS HELP CHILDREN AROUND THE WORLDThe Canadian office also launched Right To Play Champions, a new fundraising and awareness effort that attracts influential senior executives to mobilize their networks and promote our international impact. In its inaugural year, Champions raised nearly $400,000 through personal contributions and many exciting new events.

FUNDAMENTAL PARTNERS Our corporate partnerships continued to thrive, as Mitsubishi Motors’ City Chase participants generated more than $300,000 in donations. We also welcomed IAMGOLD as a new National Corporate Partner and received substantial support from many others.

Our presence in universities and colleges continued to expand and now includes 23 accredited clubs dedicated to building awareness and raising funds. More than 40 students from 18 clubs participated in the 3rd Annual Right To Play University Clubs Summit. The week-long event brings students together to increase their understanding of Right To Play and develop their leadership skills.

CANADIAN GOVERNMENT IMPACT: HOME AND AbROAD The ongoing commitment of the Canadian International Development Agency (CIDA) funded opportunities for 10 Athlete Ambassadors to visit our programs in West and Francophone Africa. The Athlete Ambassadors included Olympians Clara Hughes, Adam van Koeverden, Heather Moyse, Caroline Ouellette, Kyle Shewfelt and Hayley Wickenheiser. With CIDA’s support, the Canadian Office also launched the Canadian Awareness Program, which saw 14 program representatives from Rwanda, Mali, Liberia, Ghana and Benin visit cities across Canada to raise awareness of our priorities abroad.

The year was also marked by the launch of the third edition of our free curriculum-based resource, Playbook: Learning To Play, Playing To Learn. Printed in both English and French, 16,500 copies of the Playbook, designed for grades 4 to 6, were made available for distribution to teachers across Canada.

It was a very busy and successful year for Right To Play Canada. We saw increased awareness of our work, a significant jump in our programming activity, and the expansion of our fundraising through important partnerships and initiatives.

In 2011, Right To Play Netherlands built on the successes of the previous year, with exciting new partnerships and publicity opportunities.

The global economy’s ongoing instability compelled us to devise a new and innovative fundraising strategy at both the corporate and event levels. This effort was spearheaded by National Director, Karijn Akkerman, who worked with her team to develop a comprehensive professional fundraising policy, and implement a new cost-efficient growth strategy.

DUTCH POSTCODE LOTTERY’S NEW CHARITY PARTNERThe year started with the fantastic news that we were selected as a charity partner of the Dutch Postcode Lottery. The world’s third largest charitable donor, the Lottery gives 50% of its annual proceeds to charity. For Right To Play, this multi-year partnership meant a financial contribution of €500.000, as well as valuable publicity opportunities.

THE CHARITY OF CHOICE OF SEVERAL DUTCH COMPANIES The international urban adventure race, City Chase, was held in Holland for the first time in 2011, and we were thrilled to become the event’s charity partner – a relationship that will continue in coming years.

We are also proud to have been chosen as the National School Breakfast’s charity of choice for the third consecutive year. The Breakfast is a national event held in 2,500 primary schools to educate children on the importance of a healthy breakfast. Twenty of our Athlete Ambassadors participated in the event, visiting schools and explaining to students how a healthy lifestyle has impacted their careers. The event raised €88.000 for our programs in Benin.

RIGHT TO PLAY IN THE SPOTLIGHTWe benefitted from a big year in film. We kicked off with an incredible ESPN Films documentary directed by acclaimed filmmaker Frank Marshall, in which our President and CEO Johann Koss was featured. Johann joined us for a private screening of the film in late 2011, which successfully sparked the interest of new and potential partners, as well as renewing the commitment of existing ones.

Following that, we were awarded a €20.000 production grant by Info Pinnacle, an organization specializing in online video for the education and labour markets.

Media coverage was generated by a speed skating clinic we organized, led by none other than Johann, a four-time Olympic champion in the sport. Challenging the Dutch to overtake him on the ice, Johann’s presence attracted scores of enthusiastic sports fans from across the country.

INSPIRING CHILDREN ON A TRIP TO bURUNDI In November 2011, three employees of the Postcode Lottery and Dutch Athlete Ambassadors, former Field Hockey Player Floris Jan Bovelander and Olympic Boxing Champion Arnold Vanderlyde, embarked on an unforgettable trip to Burundi. The group visited our programs in the East African country, and had the chance to see firsthand how the Right To Play Burundi team is using play to foster health, education, conflict resolution, and gender equality. It was wonderful to see the children’s faces light up as they were inspired by our Athlete Ambassadors.

FUNDRAISING SUCCESSES bENEFIT SEVERAL COUNTRY PROJECTSWe were thrilled to receive a total of 18,5 million NOK in restricted funding from the Norwegian Agency for Development Cooperation (Norad) and UNICEF Norway. The funding was directed to programs in Mozambique, Tanzania and Uganda, as well projects that help refugees and internally displaced persons in Lebanon, the Palestinian Territories (West Bank and Gaza), Jordan, Pakistan and Burundi.

In addition, we raised 4,6 million NOK in unrestricted funding from a wide range of large-scale events, corporate partners, donors and individual gifts. OUR GROWING TEAM OF DEDICATED PARTNERS DRIVES OUR SUCCESSFor several years now, we have derived incredible benefit from our partnerships with Kjøpmannshuset (SPAR & Joker), Wilh. Wilhelmsen, Eniro Norge AS and Synsam Optical Chain. This year was no exception. We also had the pleasure of welcoming First Stop AS and Leiv Vidar to our growing team of dedicated partners.

Thanks to a generous 2,1 million NOK donation from the Norwegian foundation Gjensidigestiftelsen, we are also paving the way for future domestic programming. In cooperation with Gladiator AS, this contribution will help us establish a national program, to launch in 2012, that will benefit young asylum seekers in Norway.

HIGH-PROFILE EVENTS RAISE AWARENESS OF OUR CAUSEOne of the year’s greatest milestones was our involvement in the 2011 FIS Nordic World Ski Championships. During the Championships, we held activities for children in the Holmenkollen Ski arena and in front of the Norwegian Parliament. Done in cooperation with Aktiv til VM, this was a great opportunity to promote Right To Play, not only to participating children and their parents, but also to the Norwegian public and tourists.

We received additional publicity from several of our Athlete Ambassadors competing in the Championships, including Therese Johaug, Eldar Rønning and Odd-Bjørn Hjelmeset, who leveraged the publicity and media attention generated by their involvement in the competition as an opportunity to promote our mission and programs on an international stage.

bROKERING NEW PARTNERSHIPS WITH SPORTS PARTNERS AND SPORTS EVENT MANAGERS We successfully collaborated with several sports agents in Norway, with the goal of raising positive, mutual awareness. In 2011, we brokered new partnerships with major Norwegian sporting events, such as Holmenkollstafetten.

In line with our new strategy, we also placed collaboration with Sports Partners and Sports Event Managers at the top of the year’s agenda.

Right To Play Norway made it a priority in 2011 to establish new partnerships with large-scale Norwegian sporting events and to fortify our relationship with existing partners. We also intensified our participation in high-profile events to raise awareness about our mission and our global impact.

Athlete Ambassador and renowned Cross-Country Skier Odd-Bjørn Hjelmeset raises awareness of our cause.

In 2011, Right To Play Switzerland achieved several successes and advances that would not have been possible without the meaningful contributions of our donors, board Members, partners, Athlete Ambassadors, friends and supporters.

THE HILTON AND FIS CHARITY GALA IS CROWNED A SUCCESS In October 2011, the Hilton Zurich Airport Hotel commemorated its 40th anniversary, as well as its 10-year partnership with the International Ski Federation (FIS) by organizing a Charity Gala to benefit Right To Play Switzerland, FIS’s charity partner since 2005. Two hundred guests enjoyed a festive evening that included a benefit auction and raffle. The Hilton in the Community Foundation and the FIS very generously donated all the event’s proceeds to Right To Play Switzerland.

CELEbRATING THE END OF THE SKI SEASON WITH VERbIER HIGH FIVEVerbier High Five organized an April festival to celebrate the end of the ski season. The celebration included a charity dinner, held under the patronage of Former Swiss President Adolf Ogi, which honoured Right To Play and our mission to improve the lives of children around the world. We were delighted with the involvement of Athlete Ambassadors Judoka Sergei Aschwanden, Olympic cross-country skier Laurence Rochat and cyclist Markus Zberg.

ATHLETE AMbASSADOR SERGEI ASCHWANDEN TRAVELS TO bENINSwiss-Kenyan Judoka Champion and dedicated Athlete Ambassador, Sergei Aschwanden, visited our programs in Benin, inspiring entire communities as he travelled around the country, from one town to the next. During his stay in Benin, he mentored children who participated in our sport and play-based learning activities, joined Coach trainings and participated in important community meetings where Right To Play has a voice on such critical issues as ending the ban on girls enrolment in schools.

NEW ATHLETE AMbASSADOR WELCOMEDWe were pleased to welcome Olympic Snowboarding Champion Tanja Frieden to our team of Athlete Ambassadors. She joins a committed team of athletes who inspire children and help raise awareness by lending their voice to our cause.

WELCOMING A NEW MANAGING DIRECTORAfter years of steadfast commitment to Right To Play Switzerland, Barbara Keller resigned from her post as National Director; she will, however, continue to drive our efforts in transforming the lives of children around the world as a Delegate of the Swiss Board of Directors. Peter Marschel succeeded her as the new Swiss Managing Director. On behalf of the Board and all of our supporters, we sincerely thank Barbara for her tireless efforts and staunch dedication.

In its fifth year of operation, Right To Play UKdrew in an impressive number of new partners, friends, Athlete Ambassadors and supporters, ensuring a dynamic fan base moving into the Olympic year.

bRAND AWARENESS ON THE RISE Brand awareness increased considerably with messaging across numerous media platforms including Clear Channel’s out of home sites, Sky TV channels, Bauer Radio and The Financial Times website. Clear Channel continued their significant support by providing pro bono nationwide advertising space across thousands of bus shelters, shopping malls and “supersite” billboards. Sky TV supported us for a second year with a seasonal campaign which ran across multiple channels, including Sky News, ESPN Sports and MTV.

Right To Play UK also made its first major inroad into the music world this year. With the aim of reaching our younger supporters, we brought our sport and play-based learning games to thousands of young people who attended music festivals around the United Kingdom. The opportunity demonstrated the unique and effective power of play, whilst educating people about our work.

SPORTS PARTNERS MAKE A DIFFERENCEIn 2011, we established ourselves as one of the leading international charities operating in the UK sport industry. Thanks to Chelsea Football Club’s unwavering support, Right To Play became the first-ever charity to be featured on an English football club’s Champions League shirt.

Harlequins Rugby Club and the Lawn Tennis Association enthusiastically promoted Right To Play at the height of both their sporting seasons: during the Big Game 4 at Twickenham Stadium – Premiership Rugby’s biggest game played in front of more than 82,000 people – and during the summer grass court tennis tournaments, respectively.

Finally, Right To Play UK’s annual bike ride was supported by new partner Specialized, raising in excess of £120,000. The 2012 ride was launched by Right To Play Athlete Ambassador and World Champion Mark Cavendish.

ONGOING AND NEW SUPPORT ENDS 2011 ON A HIGH Right To Play UK supporters also had the chance to attend a number of thrilling fundraising and cultivation events, including the ever-popular World Cup Challenge held at Chelsea FC’s home ground, Stamford Bridge. Twenty teams participated, adopting names of countries where we work, such as Tanzania, Ghana and Lebanon, and played against one another for the championship while raising vital funds for our programs.

In May 2011, supporter Sabine Diederichs took on an extreme challenge for Right To Play: to ski across Greenland. Inspired by her dog sledding trip the previous year, Sabine decided to ski across the frozen country to raise money for children around the world.

In December 2011, Right To Play CEO and founder Johann Koss was in London to launch an exciting new global initiative, the Patron’s Leadership Circle. The group connects like-minded individuals and families who are committed to our mission and to supporting the organization. In return, the Circle provides these individuals with the chance to celebrate program successes made possible through their generous contributions.

Right To Play and David Lloyd Leisure, the biggest health club chain in Europe, announced a new two-year partnership starting in 2012. This partnership will see engagement with David Lloyd Leisure members and staff throughout the two-year period.

OUR SIGNATURE WEST COAST EVENT: THE MAY PLAY DAY Thanks to several generous supporters in the San Francisco-area, in May 2011 we hosted our second May Play Day in Woodside, California. More than 300 children, adults, Athlete Ambassadors, and staff enjoyed a day of games, an outdoor picnic, a live auction and the music of local zydeco jazz band, The California Honeydrops.

Sixteen Athlete Ambassadors attended the event, including Olympic Gold Medalist skier Picabo Street. “I was able to see everyone learn through play. It was inspiring,” said Street. “I want to go into the field to work with the children there, and help raise even more awareness for what Right To Play is doing. I can’t wait to get more involved.”

“People always ask me why I continue to be so involved and passionate about Right To Play and it’s because of the kids,” said Olympic Gold Medalist swimmer, Summer Sanders. “I get to see kids’ faces light up all around the world when they hold the Red Ball and now it’s even more special because my kids find such joy in playing and I see the same looks on their faces.”

OLYMPIC GOLD MEDALIST SPRINTER ALLYSON FELIx JOINS OUR TEAM In September, American track superstar Allyson Felix became the latest Olympian to join our dedicated team of Athlete Ambassadors. Shortly thereafter, Felix traveled to the Middle East with CEO Johann Koss, where they met with teachers and Coaches in Jordan, Lebanon and the Palestinian Territories (West Bank and Gaza). “Right To Play

has helped countless children throughout the world with sport and play programs – something that has been incredibly important in my life. Every single child in the world has the right to play and I am looking forward to doing my part to make that happen,” said Felix.

FULFILLING THE 1 MILLION KIDS CHALLENGE Newman’s Own Foundation, challengedRight To Play USA to raise a total of $250,000 in response to our goal of engaging one million children in regular weekly play activities. The Foundation pledged to match this amount if we successfully raised the funds within a designated six month window. We fulfilled the challenge in early 2012, inspiring philanthropic commitments from several new donors through individual events, meetings and online campaigns.

GEARING UP TO LAUNCH LOCAL RIGHT TO PLAY PROGRAMMING In late 2011, we laid the groundwork for the launch of our first program in the United States. The goal of this new program, run in partnership with the New York City Department of Education, is to improve children’s motivation and commitment to learning, whilst helping them build stronger problem-solving and critical thinking skills. The program will be implemented in 10 to 15 pre-kindergartens in the Bronx, New York City, and is scheduled to begin in November 2012.

Right To Play USA reached a high point in 2011, with the establishment of new partnerships, the expansion of our donor communities nationwide, the recruitment of new Athlete Ambassadors and the successful completion of several key events across the country. Athlete Ambassador Allyson Felix during

FINANCIAL REPORT 2011

In 2011, our total revenues increased 8.4% to $32.1 million. Restricted revenues from governments, foundations and other sources increased 36.6% to $21.1 million. Our largest contributor to this increase in restricted revenue was from the Canadian Government. Unrestricted revenues decreased 22.4% to $10.8 million, mainly due to the lingering effects of the economic crisis. To counter this downturn, we are implementing new initiatives in 2012 that will help us increase this revenue source. In addition, we are in the process of completing our new five-year strategic plan, which addresses this issue and identifies opportunities for growth in this area.

Total expenses increased 18.1% to $34.5 million in 2011. This is broken down into program and non-program expenses as outlined below.

Total program expenses increased by 22.6% to $29.4 million as we ramped up our international program expenses by $5.7 million over last year. We continued to focus attention in our current countries of operation to reach more beneficiaries and to enhance our program quality. In addition to expenses incurred in the countries in which we operated in 2011, we also include expenses related to resource development and program delivery, research, policy and cross-cultural global education.

Our non-program expenses, which consist of administrative and fundraising expenses, decreased by 2.5% to $5.1 million. Fundraising costs remained at the same level as 2010, as we tried to secure additional new supporters and donors. Administration costs were kept constant and we were cautious in our spending as we waited for the global economy to recover.

Right To Play met its benchmark ratio of 85/15 for our program expense to non-program expense. This is in line with our commitment to grow our international programs for our beneficiaries.

Despite a loss of $2.4 million in 2011, we made the conscious decision to increase our spending on programs by utilizing our accumulated surplus, which we have built up over the prior years.

Our full consolidated financial statements, audited by Deloitte & Touche LLP, are also available on our website at www.righttoplay.com.
