On November 19, Metadidomi Foundation, in collaboration with Calvin College, was able to organize a special youth project. A group of Ukrainian young people visited the Netherlands and gave guest presentations at all Calvin College locations. They spoke candidly about their wartime lives and shared experiences of loss, perseverance, and hope. An army minister was also present to guide them.
In addition, the young people received a personal message from the Ukrainian ambassador for the Netherlands, as a sign of commitment and support.
After that, the conclusion of the Connection for Youth Ukraine & Netherlands took place. 23 teams from Calvin College played against one team with Ukrainian young people. An afternoon of sportsmanship, encounters and connection, where sport once again showed how it brings people together. A wonderful competition that visibly brought a lot of enthusiasm and joy to the young people.
We would like to thank everyone who participated in this in any way. The situation in Ukraine remains fierce and help remains necessary. You can donate via our website: www.metadidomi.nl/support-us. An extended video of this football tournament is now available on our Metadidomi Foundation YouTube channel.
