In every thriving community, there are individuals whose tireless efforts and unwavering dedication often go unnoticed. These unsung heroes work tirelessly behind the scenes, driven by a passion to make a difference. One such individual within the Let's Keep The Ball Flying (LKTBF) family is Lianne Idzenga.
Lianne's journey with LKTBF began over three years ago when she joined the organization as an intern. What started as a temporary position soon blossomed into a long-term commitment fueled by Lianne's unwavering dedication and passion for the cause.
During her initial internship, Lianne collaborated with her colleague, Roanna Koopmans, on a groundbreaking project aimed at developing a special beach volleyball product with a social impact cause.
Their innovative work caught the attention of LKTBF's partner, Ninesquared in Italy, leading to a six-month internship abroad. It was during this time that the design of LKTBF's current gear was conceptualized, laying the foundation for the organization's branding identity.
