Even though this year's We Connect Lithuania participants are back home all around the world, the memories are still very vivid. We are excited to share a video from We Connect Lithuania 2018.

After three successful seasons, „Basketball Power“ program is starting its fourth one under a new name – „Youth Can“. Main difference between two programs is a number of sports activities offered. 

Last Sunday, September 16th, Alexandra Kazickas Lithuanian School in Riverhead started its 13th school year already. Getting together on the beach, sharing summer adventures and building sand castles might seem a bit unusual for school, but it has become a tradition to A. Kazickas Lithuanian School community.

The Kazickas Family Foundation and V. K. Jonynas gallery in Druskininkai welcomed everyone Friday, September 7th to the event introducing Dr. Joseph P. Kazickas' life and Tuesday, September 11th to the educational picnic of free stained glass, mosaic, sculpture and graphic workshops for youth.

The Kazickas Family's philanthropy is motivated by our wish to create a better world for both current and future generations of Lithuanians. The Kazickas' "Odyssey of Hope" brought the family to America, the new world of freedom and opportunity, but we never forgot our heritage and the homeland. When Lithuania regained its independence in 1991, we knew we had an opportunity to help Lithuania in its post-Soviet development.

The Kazickas Family Foundation is excited about the new friendship - Ziba Sidrys and her wonderful program Confidance is joining KFF improved program with a new name Youth Can!

Thank you and welcome Ziba!
