Deauville, France - May 1, 2013 - Normandy's largest equestrian center The Pole International Du Cheval (in Deauville, France) joins the equestrian events organizing association of Deauville to support JustWorld International as their official charity partner. Through this partnership, both parties show their commitment in going above and beyond the equestrian sport by contributing to the finance of educational and vocational programs serving impoverished children in developing countries.The CSIO Junior/Young Riders competition, which will take place in Deauville, France on May 23-26, will mark the official launch of an awareness campaign for JustWorld International. For the past decade, the humanitarian organization has acted as a catalyst for positive change in the developing world. More than 6,000 children have already benefited from JustWorld's programs targeting education, health, hygiene, nutrition, and personal development. JustWorld works with well-established local partner organizations to ensure an effective community buy-in and relevance."In 2012, The Pole International Du Cheval was the first equestrian center in France to welcome JustWorld's fundraising efforts for our re-launch in Europe," said Jessica Newman, JustW orld co-founder and executive director. "We are extremely flattered to have been chosen as the official charity partner. Each year, hundreds of children join our programs and gain access to the possibility of building a better future. The support raised through this new partnership will help us to achieve our goals." A natural choice for Deauville

Very enthusiastically, Joëlle Mestrallet, President of Deauville Sports Equestres which co-organizes most of the competitions in Deauville, immediately approved this project. "Thanks to my many trips to international horse shows, I have met Jessica Newman and learned more about her organization. I have been very touched by this action for children. Last year, we were the first horse show to raise funds in Europe by organizing a horseless horse show. Its success immediately convinced us we had to do more."Official launch during the CSIOThe biggest event of this upcoming season in Deauville will be the CSIO for Junior and Young Riders, which will take place May 23rd through the 26th.
