New pitch at MOS in Kiernozia

Perseverance is a chance to pierce failure into success. With a similar-sounding message, the Omenaa Foundation visited the wards of MOS in Kiernozia. Together with the Foundation's partners, they are working to improve the daily lives of the center's children and young people. The idea of building a sports field is to help influence the young residents and support them in coping with their difficulties. It is no myth to say that sports is health. And it is in many fields.

This thought guided us during our visit to the Youth Sociotherapy Center in Kiernozia. The center's charges - 50 boys between the ages of 10 and 18 - impressed us with their attitude and sensitivity, so the Omenaa Foundation, with the support of partners, decided to fund the construction of a year-round playground along with a gym.

This choice is not accidental. Physical activity is of great importance in a person's life, it allows not only to take care of the fitness of the body, but also of the mind. It gives you the tools to "put many things in your head", teaches perseverance and determination. Currently, physical education classes for wards are held in the corridors of the center. The lack of sports facilities prevents children from realizing their full potential. Therefore, we want to change this. Our initiative has another meaning - we give attention and care to young people who, for various reasons, are doomed to exclusion. The support we offer them is, so to speak, a signpost, a direction in which they can follow.

The County Office in Lowicz has approved our idea, so we plan to begin construction of the field in the second quarter of the year. We want children and young people to be able to make full use of it in the new school year. Everything is moving in the right direction.
