**About the program:**   

7bet-Lietkabelis Panevezys has partnered with Panevezys Social Services Center for the second consecutive season as it implements its One Team program for children at a day care center called Bridges of Kindness. This center helps kids and their families by developing, maintaining and/or restoring daily life skills, as well as assisting in preparing for school lessons, organizing meal and free-time activities, providing psychologist services and other individual social services relating to the child’s needs (speech therapist services, etc.).   

The eight-week One Team program works with a group of 15 mixed-gender participants aged between eight and 16 years old with the aim of getting them interested in sports, helping them to better understand themselves and to develop important life skills through basketball, such as communication, teamwork and motivation.   

Lietkabelis player Gabrielius Maldunas is supporting the program once again as the club’s One Team Ambassador.
