According to the words of the head coach of the team, Oleksandr Tarasenko, this victory was impossible without the help of the ICF “Oleksandr Feldman Foundation,” and the RLP Feldman Ecopark.
“We created the women volleyball team in the Kharkiv State Zooveterinary Academy in 2006. The team won both in the amateur premier league, and in the students’ premier league,” Mr. Tarasenko tells. “Our girls took part in many all-Ukrainian and international competitions. However, in order to develop further, and to move to another professional level, they needed help. It was rendered by the Feldman Ecopark. From now on, the team has its name after our friends and fans.”
The Director of the Feldman Ecopark Andrii Roshchupkin told that the cooperation with the Kharkiv State Zooveterinary Academy strengthens every day. This cooperation is based on the general principles – the environmental protection and the healthy lifestyle promotion.
“We are planning to develop the joint projects in several directions: nature conservation, scientific, educational and the other ones. And one of the most important direction is the support of students’ sport, in particular, the support of the volleyball team,” Mr. Roshchupkin emphasized.
As for the Feldman Ecopark team, they are planning to take part in the second round of the Higher students’ league championship and in the semi-final of the Ukraine’s Championship of amateur premier league.
