I am so thankful and happy that I had the opportunity to be a volunteer at BSF over the summer. Since I arrived in Bali, I noticed how warm-hearted, friendly and respectful the BSF staff is and I was amazed to discover all the great things they are doing for disabled people. I did not know much about disabled sports before, but BSF showed me how lives can be changed through sports.

BSF is more than just a foundation, it’s a family. Almost everyone that works for the foundation is disabled, and I dare to say that I have never seen such hardworking, passionate and motivated people in my life. Beside the office work that some of them are doing, they are also talented athletes, but most importantly independent persons. Working closely with them, helped me see the full part of the glass, be optimistic and enthusiastic about everything and always have a winning attitude. They are the kind of people that take nothing for granted and count their blessings rather than worrying about unnecessary things. Words are not enough to describe how amazing and intelligent the people I met in BSF are.

BSF gave me the opportunity to get a better understanding of what social inclusion is, how the athletes train and what facilities they need in order to compete at an international level. Together with BSF I had the chance to be part of the organising team of basketball/rugby events both in Bali and Singapore. I have also seen/experienced the hard work behind all those successful events organised by BSF.

Tom Conway – 2010

Tom is actively engaged in coaching all over Bali. Tom is the definition of a sporting all-rounder. Hailing from the sporting mecca that is Hammersmith, London, a town that has produced such greats as Frank Bruno, Joe Calzaghe and Borat creator, Saha Baron Cohen, he was soon shipped off to Switzerland at the ripe old age of 6 weeks where rumour has it he learnt to ski before he could walk. Twenty-something years have passed since those early days, during which Tom has developed into a keen sportsman, representing his senior school at football, rugby, hockey, cricket, swimming, squash and surprisingly cross country.

Tom went on to be selected for the Sussex Schools hockey squad before moving to University where he was selected for the University of Exeter football team and local Exeter Saracens rugby 1st XV. Off the field Tom has taken his sporting accomplishments a step further, founding in 2006 the Kilmorie AFC football team that can still be found playing today, long after Tom has moved on. More recently, Tom has spent time coaching rugby and football across Southern Africa, using sport to educate and improve the quality of life for local villages in South Africa, Zimbabwe and Zambia.
