Children and youths show their talent in the Bi Foundation Festival

Guatemala, July 29, 2024. As part of the presentation of the BI Foundation, a sports festival was held that brought together more than 900 children and young people from various vulnerable communities in the departments of Guatemala, Escuintla, Alta Verapaz, Baja Verapaz, Sacatepéquez, Chimaltenango and Santa Rosa.

This event included competitions in soccer, boxing, taekwondo, judo and swimming.

The main objective of the festival was to prepare the members of the BI Foundation's Social and Sports Program for future national and international competitions.

Participation in this event allowed the athletes and their coaches to identify areas for improvement in their training, in addition to being an opportunity to apply and live the Olympic values of excellence, friendship and respect.

The winners of each sport received medals in recognition of their effort and dedication, celebrating their achievements and motivating them to continue developing in their respective sports.

The BI Foundation focuses on three fundamental pillars: entrepreneurship, innovation and growth. Through the pillar of growing, the foundation seeks to support the integral wellbeing of people, promoting sports and health as a means to achieve a complete development.

In the coming months, there will be more sports, social and cultural activities, as well as competitions where some of the athletes, who are part of youth teams, will participate abroad. These young athletes are not only a source of pride for their communities, but also an inspiring example for their peers.
