UNITED FOR CHILDREN
On the 15th
of February a selection of our
National Women Team took part in the
fund raising indoor tournament ‘HCKZ
Huis ter Duin Hockey Trophy 2008’
organized by hockey club HCKZ in
Noordwijk, The Netherlands. The
tournaments purpose was to raise funds
for UNICEF
www.unicef.org. And indeed, with
great success!
In front of over
300 guests, the 1st women
team of HCKZ, the Antillean National
Team and a selection of Germany battled
out the ‘HCKZ Huis ter Duin Hockey
Trophy’. Under superb guidance of
Antillean Head Coach Bas Swildens our
National selection had the overall
competitive edge over its opponents
winning
the fancy tournament trophy for the
first time.
But the true winner
of this fantastic event was UNICEF and
the children around the world. At total
of Euro 10,000 was raised to support
children in need. It is good to see that
top hockey is not forgetting those
who are less fortunate. NAHA’s Technical
Director Mr. Henk Pepping was on site to
witness this super effort
of all persons involved. It was also a
good opportunity for Henk to see the
extended commitment of the Antillean
National Team promoting Antillean Hockey
in connection with this good cause for
UNICEF.
The tournament was
accompanied by a nice reception with
buffet and social gathering where
sponsors
and players could interact in a relaxed
atmosphere. NAHA wishes to extend its
sincere appreciation to
HCKZ and the organization of this fund
raising tournament for a job very well
done!
Big winner
