Team Sweet Drie

Dylan Rovroy

Founder 

Motivation: 

I have had type 1 diabetes mellitus since I was 1.5 years old, in fact I don't know any different. I know what it's like and that it can be very difficult at times. I have seen that the children in Indonesia do not get the opportunities that I have. I hope to be able to give the children in Indonesia a future as well. 

Claudia Rovroy

Founder 

Motivation:  

I am the mother of Jordy and Dylan, the name Sweet Three also came about because the three of us set this up and Sweet comes from sweet from diabetes. I am proud of my 2 boys for being so committed to the children in Indonesia, and how they are in life. I support them 100% in that.

Natascha Vellinga

Caregiver

Motivation:

I support Sweet Three because I also want to give the children with diabetes in Indonesia a future. They often don't have that now. I want to give them a few unforgettable days and show them that you can have a good life despite diabetes. And that you can also do what you like, like playing soccer.

Next year I will also join Sweet Three to Indonesia. Because I work with people with diabetes every day, as a practical nurse, I know better than anyone how important it is to exercise and eat healthily. This keeps diabetes under control and in many people you can even prevent them from developing diabetes. In 2016 I saw for myself that exercise and healthy eating are not self-evident in Indonesia. I would like to contribute to change this. Let children see and experience that, even if you are sick, exercise is the best medicine.  And to do this with this fantastic team is an extra plus. Let's try to keep the children in Indonesia healthy, because even in those children type 2 diabetes occurs.

Motivation: 

Since I heard of Sweet Three through Jordy it immediately appealed to me. I like being able to help people but this was something new for me. It's very nice that they can do things for children there in Indonesia who no longer have a good future because of their illness. I want to be a part of showing that you can also play sports with diabetes. I think it's very nice to dedicate myself to that and also do my part.

The things I saw with my first trip with Sweet Three were very beautiful. All the children who were so happy to see us and that made me very happy. Both the kids in the school and the kids on the soccer field and the kids in the prison. That gave me satisfaction to see those children so happy for example through a soccer clinic.

That's why I hope to be a part of Sweet Drie for a very long time to come. And also that we will achieve a lot with Sweet Drie and make sure you can play sports even if you have diabetes.
