We try to give our sponsored children every opportunity we can to experience as much life as possible. Sports, like back home, are good for physical development as well as learning how hard work can help you achieve your goals in life.
Boxing is quite popular here as well and in the last Olympics a Kazakh man won a Gold metal for boxing. One of the first gold metals Kazakhstan has won in these prestigious games.
Sergi loves boxing and has shown some good skills. He has already advanced beyond the first round of tournaments. The Saramoldaeva orphanage, wanting to encourage him, asked us to purchase a new set of boxing gloves. Boxing, as you can imagine, is hard on the hands as well as your head! Good boxing gloves not only protect hands but offer needed support for your wrist.
You never know where these orphans may wind up. We have a couple girls who are excelling in soccer and show promise of making a career in professional soccer. It’s a joy to work for a company who in invested in development of children who other wise would not have these opportunities.
Again, as always, such investments could not be realized if it were not for generous sponsors back home.
Not everyone can be here but everyone can play a part!
