Last day in Belo Horizonte and sad to be leaving. It's been an inspiring four days of FIFA's Football For Hope Forum. Highlights included a session with former Brazil players and World Cup winners Edmilson and Jorginho. Hearing them speak about their work in the community - and the importance of social development through football - with such passion, commitment and belief was very moving. Sport - and particularly football - is a great tool for social inclusion, development and peacebuilding - and has huge potential for creating positive change in the world. Much to do. Big thanks to FIFA and streetfootballworld.
