The Magic of the Annual Football Camp

One of the highlights of the year is the Inter Campus football camp. This annual free of charge Inter Campus football camp is organized by Love is the Answer Association. Through fun activities,  swimming, arts and crafts, games the camp continues to transform lives.

It’s a big deal for the kids—a safe and supportive space where they can connect, break down barriers, and find strength in themselves, as well as in each other.

This camp shows how football is more than just a game; it’s a way to bring people together, create lasting bonds, and inspire kids to overcome challenges.

From Orphanage to Role Models: True Life Stories

Take Zoli, Mark, and Dominik, for example. These three guys grew up in a government orphanage, a place where resources are scarce, personal attention is limited, and breaking out of a tough cycle is really hard. Kids in these situations often struggle with feelings of abandonment and low self-esteem, and it can be tough to see a way out.

But for Zoli, Mark, and Dominik, the Inter Campus program was a game-changer. It gave them the resilience they needed to break free from that cycle. Through the program, they not only got to play football but also learned valuable life lessons—teamwork, perseverance, and self-worth.

Paying It Forward

Now, these three are back at the camp, but this time as educators and volunteers. They’re now professional caregivers for the next generation of orphans, sharing their experiences, and offering the kind of support only someone who’s been there can provide. Their deep understanding and personal experiences make them amazing teachers and caregivers. They connect with the kids on a level that goes beyond words, offering guidance and support that’s full of real understanding.

Love is the Answer’s Lasting Impact

The journey of Zoli, Mark, and Dominik is a shining example of what Love is the Answer is all about. The organization’s long-term commitment has not only helped these young men overcome their challenges but has also turned them into inspiring role models. Their stories show how powerful community support and positive role models can be, encouraging other kids to believe in themselves and dream big, no matter where they start.

— Love is the Answer partners with Inter Campus, the social program of FC Internazionale, to bring free sports activities to over 5,000 kids in Hungary since 2009. Through these activities, kids learn about inclusion, personal growth, and teamwork, helping them thrive both physically and emotionally, especially those who need it most.–
