Wereldkampioen straatvoetbal Nasser El Jackson op basisschool IKC De Kindertuin  

In september hebben alle basisscholen in Maassluis een informatiepakket ontvangen over het Jeugdfonds Sport & Cultuur. Hiermee loten ze automatisch mee met een meet en greet met de wereldkampioen straatvoetbal. De kinderen van groep 8 van IKC De Kindertuin konden hun geluk niet op. Zij kregen de kans om een wedstrijd te spelen tegen Panna Knock out tweevoudig wereldkampioen groundmoves (straatvoetbal) van Nasser El Jackson

While the Tilburg native may have become world-famous for his inimitable tricks with the ball, he wants to achieve more than that. The street footballer is an ambassador for the Youth Fund for Sports & Culture. The fund pays the membership fees and tuition for children growing up in poverty. These families can barely afford the costs of their offspring's hobbies and passions.

To inspire

El Jackson himself is happy to be able to do this. He learned football on the streets, of course, and has now made it his mission to challenge and inspire children, using the ball as a tool. The fact that he's a two-time world champion is irrelevant. "I don't want to be seen that way. What I do now is much more important to me. I want to let children enjoy themselves and inspire them through sports and culture."

Sporten geeft veel plezier

Wethouder Sjoerd Kuiper: “Als je ziet hoeveel plezier deze kinderen beleven aan sporten, dat gunnen we alle kinderen. Ieder kind, ongeacht de financiële situatie, moet kunnen sporten en kennismaken met kunst en cultuur”.

The Youth Fund for Sports & Culture

Not all low-income parents are aware of the opportunities offered by the Youth Fund for Sports and Culture. The municipality, the Youth Fund, and Stroomopwaarts want to change that. If there's no money at home for sports or cultural lessons, the Youth Fund for Sports and Culture can help.
