On Wednesday evening 18 January our two friends Dennis Zaal and Aron Kraal received public recognition for their role in Stars in their Eyes.
They were nomited on the basis of relentless involvement in a coaching visit to South Africa, where they worked in a number of disadvantaged communities.
Dennis and Aron also organised the Larry Joe-Stars benefit evening at their club.
During the past decade the world has seen many crises. 9/11, the tsunami’s in Japan and Thailand, the economic crisis which originated in Iceland in 2008……
Yet the world bounces back every time, and through its ability to change it continues to create a new future and new opportunities for mankind.
As an organization with its feet planted firmly on the ground, Stars in their Eyes has (already for a number of years) seen change as THE catalyst for future success .
Larry Joe was introduced to Stars in their Eyes by the Dutch Embassy in early 2011. Made possible by funding from the Royal Nederlands Embassy, Larry Joe appeared at a number of ´New Beginnings´ coaching courses which were organised by Stars in their Eyes on behalf of the WorldCoaches organisation of the Royal Dutch Football Association. He was such an inspiration to coaches, community leaders and children that a collective vision and dream was recognised: to change lives!
