Bringing Joy to Young Hearts: The Volley Beyond Borders Project in Lebanon
As the sun rises over the city of Beirut, a new story unfolds high above the bustling streets. Perched on a rooftop, a volleyball playground takes shape, ready to change lives. The Volley Beyond Borders project is not just about building a court; it's about building dreams and igniting hope in the hearts of children who have faced adversity.
A Fingerprint's Journey: Erwin Sikkema's Story
Meet Erwin Sikkema, a passionate member of the LKTBF family and a true changemaker. Erwin embarked on an unforgettable journey to Beirut, eager to contribute his skills and energy to the project. As he arrived at the site in Burj El-Barajneh, he was filled with excitement and determination.
Erwin's hands-on involvement in constructing the rooftop volleyball playground was nothing short of remarkable. He also managed to get painted volleyball court lines, ensuring that every detail was perfect. But his efforts didn't stop there; Erwin knew that for the project to thrive, it needed to be sustainable.
He took the time to educate local coaches, imparting his knowledge and passion for volleyball. Through this guidance, the program will continue to flourish, also after Erwin's departure. His commitment to empowering the local community exemplifies the spirit of the Volley Beyond Borders initiative.
