Luensey to the European softball championship!

One of our candidates, Luensey, is going to the European Softball Championships soon! We asked him about his story and where his passion for softball comes from.

To the Netherlands

‘I am from Curacao, I was born there. When I was six years old, I came to the Netherlands with my mother. When I was 12, I went back to Curacao because my mother no longer wanted to live in the Netherlands. I actually didn't want to because I was already completely used to the Netherlands.’

‘At my 17e, after my mother passed away, I came back to live in the Netherlands. Now I have been living here for 5 years. First in Amsterdam, then in Haarlem and then for 2.5 years in Hoofddorp. I was able to combine my studies with my work there.’

Softball

‘From my 12e I have been playing baseball. First in Curacao and from the age of 17e back in the Netherlands. K played at Sparks in Haarlem and Pirates in Amsterdam. Now I play in Tilburg because I could also find work here. Baseball and softball is really my passion and comes first in my life. I have now been selected for the Dutch team for the first time to go to the European Championships. This was always my goal and now my wish has come true.’

‘I am very happy with Springplank and the sponsorship contribution of €600. I didn't expect this campaign to raise so much. This will cover my travel and accommodation costs for the European Championships and will allow me to come along!’
