Riders can move along it using a special “pumping” technique – transferring the weight of their own bodies. We hope that new talents will come out from here and will successfully represent us one day in the future. In 2018 we organised a Children’s Skiing School during the spring holidays, 96 children aged from 6 to 11 years old from the Žilina region participated. The Foundation provided certified ski instructors for the young skiers in the popular locations - Vrátna Free Time Zone and at the Snowland Valčianska dolina resort. “I want to say thanks for the fantastic course; my daughter had a great time and learned to ski properly. Thank you!” told us happy mother Katka 8 In 2018 we launched in the city of Žilina a long-awaited project of public bicycles, so-called bike sharing, under the brand name BikeKIA. The Foundation provided the hardware and software and also financed the development of the web page and application as well as the customer service. In next 5 years, the city of Žilina will participate in the co-financing of maintenance, which is currently being done by the company Arriva Slovakia s.r.o. Since April 2019, the citizens of Žilina, people traveling to work as well as tourists can enjoy 120 bicycles, which are distributed in 20 locations around the city of Žilina. We are pleased to contribute to improving the environment as well as the health of all users. 9 At the end of November 2017 we delivered to the Slovak Red Cross in Bratislava the first 20 cars Kia cee’d Sportswagon, distributed to 20 territorial branches in Slovakia. Since the Slovak Red Cross works throughout Slovakia, the Foundation delivered in 2018 additional 17 cars and thus renewed the fleet of personal automobiles.
