Community development and social integration…or segregation?

This 18 Feb 2010 news item describes a meeting between delegations of a community development group and a segregated sports club in Dubai, with the stated purpose “to strengthen the standards of social services and integrate those most vulnerable in society.”

It is interesting that a community development group would get involved with a human service program. At the same time, the sports club seems from the article to be a segregated one.
