At Let’s Keep The Ball Flying (LKTBF), every fingerprint leaves a lasting mark. Justyna Zientek, LKTBF’s dedicated Ambassador Coordinator, has been making an impact for over two years, working tirelessly to connect, empower, and uplift communities through volleyball.
During LKTBF’s journey in the Philippines, Justyna not only played a key role in organizing the journey but also supported the Guru Project, ensuring the smooth execution of training sessions and community activities. But one of her simplest yet most touching contributions? Creating LKTBF stick-on tattoos for the kids, bringing smiles, laughter, and a sense of belonging to the young athletes.
A Symbol of Connection and Impact
A small tattoo may seem like a simple gesture, but for these kids, it was a symbol of unity. A reminder that they are part of something bigger. LKTBF’s mission is not just about providing access to volleyball; it’s about fostering connections, building confidence, and inspiring young players to dream beyond their circumstances.
“Seeing the kids light up with joy when they got their tattoos was incredible,” Justyna shared. “It’s these little moments that make the biggest impact.”
Behind the Scenes: The Guru Project
While the tattoos added a special touch, Justyna’s work behind the scenes was equally impactful. As the project coordinator for the Guru Project, she helped facilitate training, support local coaches, and ensure that the program provided long-term benefits for the community.
The Guru Project documentary takes you behind the scenes, showcasing how LKTBF ambassadors like Justyna make these initiatives possible—fuelled by passion, teamwork, and the unwavering support of the 1% Movement.
