Princess Haya has underlined the need to use sport as a cost-effective tool to accelerate the achievement of the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) to improve the lives of the world’s poorest people by 2015... She highlighted that poverty is no longer a problem restricted to a particular country or nation; that even the developed world is not immune.
<blockquote>
“The work that we do during our lifetime and the lives that we touch will be our legacy, our gift to the future generations of [[Palestine]] – one that I hope will be passed on to their children and their children’s children,” stated Princess Haya. “Our passion for sport in this region provides us with an opportunity to change lives and develop young people. None of us have the capacity to individually solve the problems of the world, but collectively, we can help find solutions and provide hope to the children and youth of Palestine.” [http://www.princesshaya.net/App/Public/News/ArticleDetails.asp?NewsID=218&NewsstatusID=25]
