  1. “The Fortress Tour” Book Presentation”

    Saturday 16th September 2023 Roma Education Fund Belgrade Serbia

    After four long years of setbacks, a pandemic and a cost of living crisis we finally managed to organise a group of young people and their parents from Kotaz to join us for our much awaited book presentation at the Roma Education centre in Belgrade. Eugene Hamill spoke on behalf of Sporting Hearts and presented all the young contributors to the book with a limited edition hardback copy of the book “The Fortress Tour”. Other speakers included Bratislav Mitrovic from ERIAC Eriac and Sofia Osmanovic from the Ministry for Human Rights and Minorities. After the formalities refreshments were served and music was provided by one of Belgrade’s most sought after Roma musicians. But that’s enough talk let’s let the pictures tell the real story.

    During July 2021 Eugene Hamill will attempt to cycle 2021k to raise funds for ‘Sporting Hearts’ the children’s charity he founded back in 2004 after witnessing first hand the effect the Balkan wars had on children and the elderly in the former Yugoslavia.  The cycle will start and finish in the Serbian Capital Belgrade and will visit some of  Serbia’s natural treasures, historic cities and enchanted castles.  There is no fixed route or times, just miles and miles of open road and the rise and fall of the summer sun to measures the passing days. If you would like to give Eugene your support you can do so by clicking the donate button below, or you can join the cycle challenge yourself. All you have to do is start you own ‘Sporting Hearts’ fundraising page at Virgin Money Giving.Com , hop on a bike and do your best to cycle 2021k wherever you are during the month of July 2021.
