FOR A SMOOTH SAIL

Students from the Yacht Club at the recently concluded Monsoon Regatta ON A HIGH TIDE:

who heads the Social Welfare Department has sent students from Shaikpet Model School and others to be equipped with techniques to compete at different levels. We have taken students to Hong Kong and one to Singapore for regattas. We are planning to increase our strength to 100 students very soon,” says Suheim. Praveen adds, “We are trying to arrange whatever help we can offer to Suheim. He has taken up a great initiative to blur the economical line in sailing.”

The club has successfully produced two national champions in sub-junior and junior categories.

Some of the students who are doing really well are also part-time instructors for new students, giving them a way to lead a life of dignity through sports.

“When I started to train under Suheim sir, I was afraid, but now the fear is gone. I really love sailing and will take it up as a career,” says Mahboobie, a 12-year-old student from the city.

With Suheim’s support, kids are hoisting their sail which is literally equipping them to fight the seas and cruise towards the future.

We are working with economically challenged children from several government schools... We are planning to increase our strength to 100 students very soon — SUHEIM SHEIKH, Founder, Yacht Club
