This year we want to ask attention for the international humanitarian organization Right To Play. Right To Play is an organization that uses sport and play programs to improve health, develop life skills, and foster peace for children and communities in some of the most disadvantaged areas of the world. Working in both the humanitarian and development context, Right To Play trains local community leaders as Coaches to deliver our programs in more than 20 countries affected by war, poverty, and diseases in Africa, Asia and the Middle East.   

To let the most disadvantaged children in the world play; the organization Right To Play need funds. To raise funds at the Aruba Heineken Regatta 2008 there will be organized a lottery and an auction.

The Aruba Heineken Regatta is an amazing experience for all the participants, therefore this is a nice moment to do something for people whom are struggling. To stride on this sportive level with each other and against each other on the Caribbean Sea and making it at the same time possible that the most disadvantaged children in the world can sport and play as well is something really beautiful.    

The initiative to involve Right To Play with the Aruba Heineken Regatta 2008 is an idea of one of the participants named Vladimir Voûte. The company of Vladimir, ATOS Origin (IT partner of the IOC and Platinum partner of Right to Play), will double all the donations made for Right To Play at the Aruba Heineken Regatta 2008.

Right To Play is an organization which is supported by athletes worldwide, for example the Olympic Sailors Annemieke Bes and Margriet Matthijsse.
