GIVING BACK
Giving back to the next generation and the planet
The Future is Now!
Unlocking opportunities for children in helping them build skills to uplift and empower them to grow and thrive in order for them to take control of their own future and actively shape it is the best we can do for them. Using sports as a means is very close to my heart. Because children who practice sports and build physical and mental strength skills are more likely to be focused on education and succeed in life. Education is the prerequisite for reducing poverty, improving health, protecting the environment and creating a strong civil society.
My vision: a journey from court to courtroom towards setting up a new foundation
It is my vision to establish a foundation to raise funds for projects supporting children through the means of sports and educating for environmental stewardship. Below, you can find the projects I currently support – please feel free to visit their websites and donate if you can.
I support projects focusing on
- Educating, inspiring, uplifting and empowering children
- Building life skills, physical and mental strength and resilience through sports
- Educating children about environmental stewardship through physical exercise in nature
- Helping children to be anchored in life
- Educating children on health
- Helping children develop their authentic strengths
- Supporting the school education of children
“Sport has a crucial role to play […] to improve the lives of people around the world. Sport builds bridges between individuals and across communities, providing a fertile ground for sowing the seeds of development and peace.”
Wilfried Lemke – former Special Adviser to the Secretary-General on Sport for Development and Peace
