NOC of Ukraine and the Foundation "Future for Children" organized an international competition among young athletes of Ukraine, Greece and Cyprus
On July 26, the National Olympic Committee of Ukraine with the support of the Ukrainian charitable Foundation "Future for Children" and philanthropist Anatoliy Boyko organized an international project "Olympic Dreams 2022" with a friendly JUDO tournament in 12 categories among the athletes from Ukraine, Greece and Cyprus.
The grand opening of the judo tournament "Olympic Dreams 2022" was held in Loutraki (Greece) in Sportcamp, the Youth Sports and Training Center, with the support of Sport Village and the Social Services Provision Center Andreas Sofocleous "KEPAKY".
"Today, child protection is the main task. We strive not only to save their lives, but also to create opportunities for their development. And the "Olympic Dreams 2022" project that we managed to organize together with the NOC of Ukraine and the "Future for Children Foundation" is a part of the systemic work that we set up to achieve this goal. I am glad that despite the war, children were able to live this summer under a peaceful sky, playing sports and competing with each other. I believe that in the future these children will be worthy representatives of Ukraine at all sports grounds of the world", - Boyko noted.
The event was attended by the guests of honor: a representative of the Greek Ministry of Sports, a representative of the National Olympic Committee of Greece, President of the Greek Judo Federation, representatives of the NOC of Ukraine, representatives of the Foundation "Future for Children", representatives of the municipality and famous athletes.
Also, a two-month training camp in Greece was organized for children from the affected regions of Ukraine, particularly, the cities of Irpin, Bucha and Gostomel with the support of the Charitable Foundation "Future for Children," and Anatoliy Boyko
For reference:
Before the war, the Charitable Foundation "Future for Children" took care of children who needed help for family reasons in a boarding school at the Nyzhnyobystrivska Gymnasium. Since 2021, the employees of the Foundation and the Gymnasium have helped over 300 children and adults. However, with the beginning of the war, a shelter for internally displaced people, who had lost their homes, was created on the territory of the Gymnasium. The team of the Charitable Foundation "Future for Children" is a team of activists, who started and implemented the project of the public organization "Development of the IT Education", which supports young IT specialists and the development of the IT sector in Ukraine.
