The district of Reeberg in Wanica, Suriname, has inaugurated a state-of-the-art sports complex, marking a significant milestone for local youth development. Officially opened during the Sports and Education Fair, the facility on Roodbontstraat is a project spearheaded by the Y-Academy Foundation, led by Chairman Gino Naarden. The complex aims to provide a safe and accessible space for young people to engage in sports, play, and foster both physical and mental growth. The Ministry of Youth Development and Sports (JOS) has endorsed the initiative, with Acting Sports Director Enrique Ralim praising the foundation’s efforts and pledging active collaboration. ‘Such initiatives are invaluable for youth development. The ministry will be actively involved in Y-Academy’s next event,’ Ralim stated. He emphasized the ministry’s commitment to supporting organizations dedicated to youth and sports development, noting that investments in sports translate into investments in the nation’s future—promoting health, mental resilience, and societal stability. Y-Academy’s innovative approach combines sports and education to empower local communities through talent development. Naarden officially handed over the complex to Reeberg residents, urging them to maximize its potential. ‘Healthy youth are the foundation of a strong Suriname. It starts here, in our neighborhoods,’ he stressed. Local children, including Jamie, Meredientje, and Shesharya, expressed their excitement, describing the new sports field as a dream come true—a dedicated space to play, learn, and grow together.
