Let me tell you a story.

6y old guy wanted to kick out boredom & PC games and thats why he started to play a football. He just fell in love in this beautiful game, he lives football, he talks football, he went to sleep with football.

Later when he turned 19, struggled with adult football - lost his passion, so he decided to become a referee... but there is nothing wrong with it. It is even better path, because he found a love with football again. He also wanted to see bigger perspective, so he completed UEFA Grassroots C licence as a coach. All 3 areas he explored, makes him more openminded, talkative and experienced.

"One of the most meaningful thing in life is to share your experience, enthusiasm and creativity with others."

He realised, he lives in the world of polarization, where the racism and homophobia still persist. In the world where is big demand for volunteers in every part of the world and every area of need.

23 years later since he started to play footbal, this time he decided to kick out racism through volunteering in Kenya and SHARE, and GIVE, not TAKE.
