Based on True Events

The Boy with the Kite


In the small coastal town of Tamil Nadu, there lived a boy named Arun who loved to fly kites. Every
evening after school, he would run to the beach with his favorite red kite, its long tail weaving through
the salty air.

One afternoon, Arun noticed a crowd gathering near the shore. A boat had capsized, and the fishermen
were struggling to rescue the passengers trapped in the waves.

Without thinking, Arun tied a note to his kite: Help needed—boat sinking near the lighthouse. He let the
kite soar high, its vibrant red cutting through the blue sky, visible for miles.

The message reached the mainland, where a local rescue team spotted the kite and deciphered the
note. Within minutes, help arrived, saving all the passengers.

Arun’s quick thinking became the talk of the town. The red kite, once just a toy, was now a symbol of
courage and ingenuity.

Years later, Arun became a marine engineer, inspired by the event that had taught him the power of
action—even in the smallest forms.

If your parents cannot fund your sports interest, there are several ways to secure financial support
for travel, equipment, and competition fees. Many athletes face this challenge, but with the right
strategy, it can be overcome.

o Look for scholarships offered by the Pakistan Archery Federation, Pakistan Sports
Board, or provincial sports organizations.

representing their regions or the country.
 Private Foundations:

Sports Foundation might support emerging talent.
 Educational Institutions:
o Schools and colleges often provide scholarships to students excelling in sports.

2. Approach Sponsors

 Local Businesses:

promoting their brand.
 Corporate Sponsorships:

sponsorship programs.

6. Leverage Community Support

help.

themselves.

7. Use Low-Cost Travel Options
