Charity projects
Riga Cup 2012

As organizers of the Riga cup we started last year with adopting an Orphanage during the Riga Cup Tournaments 2011 in Riga, Latvia. For this project we choose orphanage and child care Dzeguzite.

With the help of Oy Pelimatkat Travel (Finland), Fam. Stolze (Netherlands), Prisma (located in Riga Plaza), Prisma Kirkkonummi (Finland), Sportshop Kesselin Urheilukauppa from Kirkkonummi (Finland), Maritim Park Hotel (Riga), Opera Hotel & Spa (Riga), Avalon Hotel (Riga), Forum Cinema (Riga), SIA Sportland (Riga Plaza), SIA Prizma (Volvo Ledus Halle), Company Cesu Alus (OHS) and Gemoss (also OHS) and off course all the parents and players from the teams who brought us so many gifts we offered the children of Dzeguzite a wonderful day they will never forget. You will find a full report complete with photos under the chapter "Charity projects".

After the great success of last year, we have decided to adopt two projects again during the Riga Cup Tournaments 2012! So, we hope you will help us the same way as you did last year!!! We (and the children) are counting on you!!!!!

We choose once again for Orphan House Dzeguzite. More information of this Orphanage you will find under the chapter "Charity projects". Then we choose for another project. In the beginning of November 2011 we visited Raiskuma speciālā internātpamatskola - rehabilitācijas centrs in Raiskums, near Cesis, 90 km. from Riga. This is a bigger house with more than 100 children in the age of 7 till 17 years. 50% of those children are physically ill and 50% are mentally ill (and some children are both). They have a beautiful house, where they both live and go to school. But............ most of those children have parents, but sadly enough most of them don't look after them anymore at all! (http://www.raiskumaintsk.edu.lv/).

So we have two goals for the
Riga Cup Tournaments 2012.

Our first goal is to try to make a memorable day for the children of Dzeguzite and for the children of Raiskuma.

Our second goal is to try to get as many goods as possible for those children. There is among other urgent needs for winter clothes, hats, scarves, gloves, boots, moon boots, sport shoes, simple games, inline skates (skeelers), and basketballs type 5 and 6.

SO PLEASE WILL YOU HELP US????


You can help us to make a donation to our account stating "charity projects" or you can bring goods for the children when you come to visit one of our tournaments!
