EDUCATION THROUGH SPORTS

As part of School Sports Week, Fundación Amor por RD participated in a series of athletic competitions and educational activities designed to promote the connection between sports and academic success. The initiative reflects our belief that education and sports together help build well-rounded, resilient young people.

The event featured inspiring appearances by professional athletes, including boxer María García, volleyball stars Clariluz and Gina Mambrú of the Dominican National Team (Las Reinas del Caribe), and professional bowler Aumi Guerra. They shared personal stories about discipline, perseverance, and the importance of education in achieving long-term success. Students participated in sports competitions, academic trivia, team-building activities, and leadership development sessions that combined physical activity with learning and character development.

The event engaged 450 students, along with coaches and teachers, fostering teamwork, motivation, healthy habits, and a stronger commitment to education. By integrating sports into the learning experience, Fundación Amor por RD helps promote youth leadership, prevent social risks, encourage school retention, and support the holistic development of every student.
