HOH Beach Tennis Tournament filled with strong competition and atmosphere!

HVT committee pleased to reach 100 teams

It is not the first time, but the third year that the caregivers team (HVT) committee of Horacio Oduber Hospital organizes the Beach Tennis competition. The HVT team counts on a long list of volunteers at the HOH, who are always ready to provide extra support, in addition to their regular work in the hospital, in times of emergency or calamity. They train constantly to be ready in case of a calamity or emergency and this time the training provided companionship with the environment, collegiality and strong commitment to the Beach Tennis tournament. A super well organized event thanks to colleagues Barbara Poelmann, Milka Wernet and Ilse de Cuba.

Barbara Poelmann, a member of the HVT committee and one of the driving forces behind the Beach Tennis tournament, indicated that she is super excited because there were more than 100 people who registered this year compared to last year’s total of 68 people. There were opportunities to register in different categories and different levels, such as mixed teams and fun and advanced categories

It was also noted that this year more people came to watch the games as many colleagues came to support each other. Finally, Barbara Poelmann thanked all those who registered to participate in the championship and hopes that next year more people will be able to register and join sports activities.

Ingmar Ramharakh, from the Labor Department, is pleased that his team won the Fun Mix category. We played about seven games to reach the final and we won too. What makes our team special is that I played with my brother Saskia and together we make a good team and we won the championship trophy! Ingmar ends with a smile.

Nephrologist Romeo Kock was also one of the participants in the Beach Tennis tournament. Kock commented that the Department of Dialysis had a total of 5 teams enrolled.

They all had a great desire and enthusiasm to participate in this year’s games. This type of activity creates a lot of ambiance and creates a bond between the different groups of HOH. The crowd was so excited that they spent the whole day outside talking to each other. Cock is contained. Congratulations to all who have won prizes after a hard fought battle. Thank you to everyone who participated and supported during this wonderful event. Also a heartfelt thank you to the HOH Board of Directors who once again supported this activity organized by the HVT committee.
