Maksym Haman
Ice hockey player | *16.03.2007
Ukraine, Bohuslav / Switzerland, Kreuzlingen
Maksym has proven himself to be a role model for other young people through his positive attitude, dedication, and curiosity. We came to know Maksym as an exceptionally courteous young man who is deeply grateful for this opportunity during a personally challenging time in his life.
He radiates this sense of gratitude and, through his attitude, also inspires and supports his classmates — many of whom have never personally experienced war or uncertainty — helping them realize that life can take very different paths for different people.
Through these experiences, Maksym has developed remarkable resilience and is able to cope with challenges better than many of his peers — a truly impressive personality.
