Yesterday, our Wantijpark parkrun initiative celebrated its 100th edition in DORDRECHT.

The 100th event coincided with the official unveiling of the restored ‘Stemvork’ artwork in its familiar spot at WantijPark. The original unveiling took place on 11 June 1966, marking the 55th anniversary of the then-existing Drum, Fife, and Trumpet Corps Jubal, now known as Jubal Dordrecht.

Nearly sixty years later, the new unveiling occurred alongside the 115th anniversary of Jubal Dordrecht. Previously, the Stemvork was in very poor condition and was removed from the park by the municipality last year. As the artwork was not registered as an official municipal piece, it fell outside regular management and maintenance.

Consequently, due to its hazardous condition, it was removed. The introduction of WantijParkrun, an initiative bringing runners together every Saturday morning for a 5k run and walk event, prompted discussions about the StemVork. The artwork was carefully restored, sandblasted, galvanised, and powder-coated.
The Tuning Fork can now stand proudly at Wantijpark for years to come. Later, the artwork will be mounted on a specially manufactured plinth.

At Sport for Empowerment Foundation (SFEF), we are pleased to benefit from every runner who purchased a running T-shirt for the 100th edition of Wantij Parkrun and for the donations made to support our work in Sierra Leone.
Thanks to the entire WantijParkrun Dordrecht team and Sandra Diel, who championed this remarkable initiative.

Sport For Empowerment Foundation, we believe Books today, Leaders tomorrow.
This is why we give our children the tools, they’ll need to build their own road through education and sport.
When a child learns, whole streets follow
One open mind can lift a whole globe
Education is the ground we stand on
That first fair step where their race begins

Let the future start with them.

Through our education and sports activities at Malama Kamayama Lumley Regent Road in Sierra Leone, we have enhanced gender equality by providing a safe space for boys and girls to play sports and see themselves as equals in society.

Hockey is not the most popular sport in Sierra Leone, but we have managed to use it to change the lives of girls whose parents believe that going to sell after school is the best option.

We are pleased to have parents who now support and believe in our approach of using sports to create the necessary changes for the growth and empowerment of both girls and boys.

Thanks to our partners and the Hockey Association in Sierra Leone for establishing a league structure where the game can be played and our children can continue to dream.

These are just pictures but gems that show anything is possible in life.

What started with a kick of a football and the empowerment of committed sport teachers in Malama Lumley, Freetown, Sierra Leone, has connected us with renewed hope and determination through our partners at Leaders Hub Foundation and Sport for Empowerment Foundation (SFEF), in educating young people and providing them with computer science development to brighten their future.

As part of taking ownership and living by example, children of Sport For Empowerment Foundation Sierra Leone were out in their community to show their civic responsibility by cleaning the foundation's property at the Makal community outside Makeni.

The team was led by the coaches and the director of education who is also the president of the founders' association Bangalie Samuels.

His leadership has brought renewable energy across the foundation work in Makeni.

The cleaning event concluded with a football match and refreshments, in appreciation of the children's initiative.

This was an activity of team building because it brought out the best in the children and allowed them to eat together and have fun as well.

Thanks to the parents who allowed their children to participate in the event and we look for more effective engagement like this.

What seems impossible is now possible for the growth of young people in computer science literacy through our education and sport program.

With our partners at Leaders Hub Foundation, we have been able to make learning easy and effective for children attending our school Friends In Sport Academy Kamayama Regent Lumley.

From primary to senior secondary school, all children within our school are allowed to develop their computer skills in one of the most conducive environments for education.

What was a dream and a vision is now a reality.
We are the change that we want to see in our society today.

Our girls' and boys' junior teams have made it through to the semifinals of the Sierra Leone National Hockey Tournament which is currently ongoing outside the capacity of Freetown.

Thanks to our team management, the coaches, and the players for putting up a wonderful performance in the very shortest time our organisation has engaged with hockey in Sierra Leone.

We are super excited for what lies ahead as we continue to develop more girls and boys through education and sport across Sierra Leone.

Our appreciation goes to Erna Truijens of Sportspullenbank Rotterdam, Dordtse Reddingsbrigade Dordrecht, Ed Win, Ree Amin, and every other person or organisation working with us to make these dreams a reality.

A Player Match Reflection is a process in which a football player reflects on and evaluates their performance after a match or training session. It helps players understand what they did well, what they need to improve, and how they felt during the game.

Player reflection is an important part of modern football development because it improves:

Self-awareness
Decision-making
Confidence
Tactical understanding
Emotional control
Responsibility and discipline

In this video, players of SFEF reflect on their actions during a match between the old and present generations.

Player Name: Ibrahim Kamara

Position: Midfielder

Match Reflection:

“Today I worked hard and helped my teammates. My passing was better, but I lost the ball too many times under pressure. I need to improve my awareness and communication. Next match I want to stay calm and support the defence more.”

For us at SFEF,

“Reflection turns experience into improvement.”
