Dr Ary S. Graça F° has expressed his confidence in the future of the Volleyball Foundation, stating:
“We want to continue to support groundbreaking projects in local communities around the world that align with the Foundation’s mission, ensuring that as many people as possible have the opportunity to enjoy our sport. This includes development programmes that have a positive social, economic and/or environmental impact, and introduce volleyball to new communities, especially in less developed areas. We also want to continue to raise awareness about the Foundation’s activities and build upon our strong network of supporters.
“Our slogan is ‘serve the world through volleyball’ and that will be weaved through everything that we do. The most important thing is the development of communities through our sport – in particular – our youth, and the Foundation aims to do just that.”
The Volleyball Foundation has hit the ground running, teaming up with the Thailand Volleyball Association (TVA) to host a mass participation event that inspired hundreds of children with a unique and immersive volleyball experience.
