Tenis para Ti Foundation on Gente como Uno: A Look at the Impact of Tennis in Communities
On August 14th, Tenis para Ti Foundation had the honor of participating in the Gente como Uno program on Televen, where the work and mission of our organization were highlighted. Through this platform, we were able to showcase how tennis is not just a sport but a powerful tool for social transformation for children and young people in Venezuela.
During the program, our founder, Ana Vallenilla, shared her vision of how sports can be a catalyst for change, providing young people with not only athletic skills but also fundamental values such as discipline, teamwork, and resilience. Additionally, Román Recarte, a distinguished member of our foundation, spoke about his role in mentoring these young individuals, guiding them not only in their development as tennis players but also in their holistic growth as future leaders.
The program also provided an opportunity to share the inspiring stories of Jader and Ronixi, two young people who have found in tennis a pathway to overcome challenges and aspire to a better future. Both have demonstrated that with effort and dedication, limits can be surpassed, opening doors to new opportunities.
Our youth leaders, Nicolás and Alejandro Vázquez, also played a prominent role in the interview. They have been instrumental in developing programs that not only enhance the athletic abilities of participants but also enrich their perspective through education and culture. Their dedication and passion for tennis have extended the foundation’s reach, allowing more young people to access these opportunities.
We want to express our deepest gratitude to the Gente como Uno team and its presenter, CHARYL CHACON, for providing us with this valuable platform. Thanks to their support, we have been able to amplify our mission and reach a wider audience, inspiring others to join our cause and contribute to the building of a more equitable and supportive society.
We remain committed to our mission of using tennis as a tool to change lives and communities. We invite everyone to learn more about our work and join us on this journey towards a better future for our youth.
