The Kazickas Family Foundation is excited about the new friendship - Ziba Sidrys and her wonderful program Confidance is joining KFF improved program with a new name Youth Can!
Thank you and welcome Ziba!
From Ziba's notes:
Get ready for the biggest Confidance announcement to date ——
Next week kicks off the beginning of a promising partnership between Confidance and Jaunimas Gali / Youth Can!
This intensely popular and fast-growing organization provides hundreds of children at Lithuanian day centers free lessons and mentoring programs aiming to prevent issues such as bullying, alcoholism, suicide, human trafficking and others. Krepsinio Galia was originally thought out and supported by the Kazickas Foundation, NBA Cares and Hoops4Hope. It is with great honor that Confidance will be part of such a magnificent cause.
After reading Odyssey of Hope, Juozas Kazickas became my personal hero - his words were also my inspiration for applying to Cambridge this summer. I truly believe that Juozas, the late founder of the Kazickas foundation is the reason Jaunimas Gali found Confidance and sought us out as a potential partner.
Big thanks to Neila Baumilienė for flying out to Chicago, Agne Vertelkaite for meeting in Lithuania and Arminas Vareika for coming up with our entire work schedule! Interviews, meetings, training sessions, dances and parties are all on the horizon, and I still cannot wrap my head around it!
Aciu aciu! Ir iki pasimatymo!
- Žiba Sidrys
