GAZA, April 6 (Xinhua) Ayda Emam, a Palestinian child from Gaza, has recently found her way to play squash at a local sports club with her peers.
The 10-year-old child told Xinhua that she decided to take that sport because it sharpened focus, speed and movement, and taught her how to achieve goals. In the past, I watched squash on television only. I thought that it was only for adults, she said, adding that she felt happy when she heard the club in Gaza provides opportunity for children too.
