ENGAGE EVERY HUMAN BEING
“Sports is the best way of
engaging every human being. It’s a way of integrating our people.”
Bolivia President Evo Morales lives by this testament and yesterday urged
his 33 Heads of Government counterparts at the Fifth Summit of the
Americas that sports and youth were the catalyst that integrated the
world, when all else had failed. His admission came at a news press

Port-of-Spain, after he was asked by a foreign journalist what message he
had for the Summit and for the youth.
