Padma Joshi was the one to introduce Munna to football and to 800 other girls across 13 villages in Rajasthan.
She's been leading the Football for Freedom project at MJAS, a women's rights organisation.
We said the sport will take girls forward.
They will be able to get government jobs that are allocated to sportsperson.
Even though football hasn't been able to prevent all these girls from marrying, a sea change has been achieved.
Football not only helped her fight the threat of child marriage, but also opened up her world.
She has trained to be a coach and hopes to become a school sports teacher.
Now picture the scene.
You're a family having fun at the beach, kayaking and paddle boarding, when suddenly everything goes wrong.
Rough weather and strong winds push you far out to sea.
That's what happened to a mother and her three children who were on holiday in the southwest of Australia.
And they may well have drowned, were it not for an extraordinary swim by the 13-year-old boy of the family who set off to raise the alarm.
Our Sydney correspondent Katie Watson told me what he did.
And I gather things weren't easy for the boy's mother, who was still out at sea trying to keep the rest of the family together.
I saw that the rescuers had said that this incident serves as a reminder that ocean conditions in that part of Australia can change rapidly.
I mean, are these waters notoriously treacherous?
Katie Watson in Sydney.
And that's all from us for now.
