Helping football grow means also helping poor local communities grow. As football is played mostly by kids Rani Vanouska Modely attention is focused on bringing humanitarian relief for young people all over the world. Football is creating bridges between people without distinction of language, religion, race or sex discrimination and , because of this, it is a perfect tool to change the world and promote human rights, equity and fairness. Princess Rani Vanouska T. Modely views the sport as a tool for rekindling hope in the lives of children around the world.
Vanouska Modely conceived her Football World Heritage idea when invited to the Champion’s League Final awards ceremony in Monaco in the presence of Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi. Football is much more than the most popular sport, it is a universal common language shared by 4.5 billion people on the planet. It, therefore, has its full place in the service of the objectives of the United Nations: education, culture, social inclusion, equality, environment and the development of the programs of nations united in the service of PEACE.
Havas group has confirmed their support to Princess Rani Vanouska T. Modely in the football World Heritage campaign for the run up of the World Cup 2022. The force behind the group, Jacques Seguela himself, has been involved since the start of this venture. He is a member of the Football World Heritage Committee, along the side of Arsenè Wenger, and many other personalities.
Unity is strength, Gathering all these personalities around such a strong message for humanity is a right but also a duty. Today, they are the conductors, those thanks to whom we will bring a little dream and happiness in reality. We will not do it without them, we must build and maintain a positive synergy between leaders, players and coaches and the people. It is through them that the necessary means will be mobilized in order to achieve the changes we all want and for the greater world. These means are political, economic, structural and cultural, and we will do everything we can to solicit them. The stakes are high but we believe in consensus. Through this initiative, I hope that the energies of the entire world will be connected to one and the same desire, that of uniting for a moment, of looking towards the same horizon, the same destiny, that of peace.
“Football can change the world.” It’s a common language, activity, source of health and happiness. Many football organizations have already shown support for Princess Rani Vanouska Modely and her UNESCO football candidacy bid. “We are conscious of the enormous power of the most popular sport in the world, of its capacity to act as a vehicle for universal values such as fair-play and respect and of its efficiency in the strive for social improvement that is the equality between men and women, social inclusion, tolerance, and education. We hope that Football will be saved in the Intangible Cultural Heritage list of UNESCO” – Fédération Internationale de Football Association (FIFA).
What’s the goal ? Our goal is to bring a real ball to every child on the planet that cannot afford one as a universal symbol of freedom and equality. Developing football infrastructure, local projects, giving all children a place where football can be played. Football means happy and healthy kids, and there is no better investment for the future than that.
For example, as the FWH project is building steam heading toward the 2022 World Cup in Qatar, the G20 is considering the importance of Climate Change, working now to pave the way for the 26th Conference of the Parties (COP26) for the United Nations Framework on Climate Change, which will be co-hosted between Italy and the UK. Climate change fits into the goal of sustainable development, which is one of FWH’s Six Universal Values (the others being cultural diversity, youth and education, access to food and water, gender equality, and last but certainly not least, respect). As the organization explains, “Football is the most powerful tool to unite people and cross many boundaries, such as geographical, ethic, cultural and religious. It is by definition, the most powerful tool to make change around the world and team up for climate change for all generations. FWH is reaching out to all Football World Leaders and World Top’s Climate champions to make a change.”
Some think at Vanouska Modely as a Mother Theresa for football and the comparison is natural if you look at the motives and the goals involved. Fighting against child poverty, fighting for human rights and happiness, that creates similarities between the two. The young beauty, Princess Rani Vanouska T. Modely thinks that football should be registered as part of UNESCO’s World Cultural Intangible Heritage with a special focus on children and unity ahead of the 2022 FIFA World Cup. This require 185 countries to sign the initiative and many already did it.
The cause is close to the heart of Jacques Seguela. He said, “People in different parts of the world have been dealt with different cards and everyone has a different journey. However, there is no denying that the sport of football transcends the boundaries of colour, religion, nationality and more. As a French, I have always been in awe of the sports and the spirit of nationality attached to it. I hope that the destination of Princess Rani Vanouska Modely will help 185 states to make it a part of UNESCO’s list”.
