F4F Heroes: 14-year-old BRICS Good Will Ambassador to Participate in 2019 Football for Friendship
MOSCOW, April 23, 2019 /PRNewswire-AsiaNet/ --

Ananya Kamboj will participate for the third time in the International 
Children's Social Programme Football for Friendship. The programme is run by 
Gazprom PJSC, the official partner of the UEFA Champions League, and its final 
events will take place in Madrid from May 28 to June 2. The 14-year-old school 
girl from India has gained wide recognition at the project thanks to her 
participatory citizenship, journalist professionalism, and diverse range of 
educational activities in her home country.

"I have always believed that it is imperative to pay particular attention to 
both sport and cultural education of children. That is why Nine Values promoted 
by Football for Friendship programme are so important – they encourage children 
to develop both on a football field and in life," Ananya notes.
The Nine Values of the F4F programme are friendship, equality, fairness, 
health, peace, devotion, victory, traditions, and honour. Every year at the 
Nine Values School are organized lessons for all the participants of the 
programme. Many children launch their own social projects when they come back 
home. Ananya Kamboj wrote a book, "My Journey from Mohali to St. Petersburg", 
in which she told about the Nine Values of the programme and her impressions 
from communicating with peers at the project. 

After participating in F4F in 2018, Ananya became a Good Will Ambassador of 
BRICS countries. She participated in various large projects in India, including 
Lean India Summit and She's Mercedes. The Young Journalist regularly visits 
schools in Deli where she tells the students about Football for Friendship and 
the Nine Values. 

In 2019, for the first time in the history of the project, Ananya Kamboj has 
received the invitation to speak on behalf of all the Young Ambassadors of the 
world at the 2019 Economic and Social Council (ECOSOC) Youth Forum at the UN 
Headquarters. 

In May, Ananya will take part in the International Children's Social Programme 
Football for Friendship for the third time. She will give a speech at the 
International Football for Friendship Forum on May 30, 2019, on the third day 
of the final events of the programme in Madrid.
