On May 13, the project had the honor of welcoming professional Footvolley and Teqball athlete Natalia Guitler for a special visit filled with exchange, inspiration, and joy. Recognized as one of the leading female figures in sports, Natalia was warmly received by the children, who were thrilled to meet such a prominent international athlete up close.

During her visit, Natalia explored the entire structure of the institution, engaged with the team, and participated in activities with the students. One of the highlights was her time on the field, where she played with the children in a joyful and enriching experience. The positive energy was palpable, reinforcing the power of sports as a tool for social transformation.

In addition to getting to know the project, Natalia also shared information about the Natalia Guitler Institute, an organization she founded to promote footvolley as a means of inclusion, empowerment, and gender equality for girls and women. Her presentation emphasized shared values and expanded the network of initiatives using sports for social impact.

Moments like this are essential to inspire younger generations and strengthen connections between initiatives with common goals. Natalia’s presence brought motivation and representation, especially for the girls in the project, who saw themselves reflected in her success and determination.
