Bornholm is taking action to enhance the opportunities for children and youth to play football in Cuba through a gear collection initiative. Led by Thomas Concepcion Anker, who has Cuban roots, this effort focuses on gathering used football clothing for donation to young players in Cuba. The campaign is being conducted in collaboration with several local football clubs on the island.

The inspiration for this charitable project came during a visit to Cuba last year, where Anker witnessed firsthand the challenges that children face in accessing proper sports equipment. Many young Cubans lack the necessary sports clothing and football boots, which hinders their ability to participate in the sport they love. Anker's initiative aims to alleviate this issue and provide memorable sporting experiences for these children.

Anker's organization, Futbol Social Guanajay, is pivotal in mobilizing local communities to contribute towards this cause. The collection effort is set to take place over the next two weeks, allowing residents of Bornholm the chance to donate items that could have a meaningful impact on the lives of young athletes in Cuba. Ultimately, this project not only aims to provide equipment but also strengthens the ties between the two communities.
