Breaking the Cycle children in Hanoi meet Chelsea Legend Jimmy Floyd Hasselbaink
Breaking the Cycle children in Hanoi meet Chelsea Legend Jimmy Floyd Hasselbaink

On the morning of 17 April, children participating in SCDI’s Breaking the Cycle programme had the opportunity to meet and interact with football legend Jimmy Floyd Hasselbaink, former Chelsea striker. The activity took place as part of The Famous CFC programme, a Chelsea initiative connecting international fans, held in Hanoi.

During the session, the children wore Chelsea’s signature blue jerseys and had the chance to speak directly with the former Dutch international. His stories about teamwork, perseverance, and passion for the game offered a source of inspiration, encouraging the children to build confidence and pursue their own aspirations.

This meaningful experience not only brought joy to the children but also contributed to long-term motivation in their personal development journey.

SCDI sincerely thanks Ascott Vietnam and Chelsea Football Club for facilitating this inspiring activity for the children.
