Table Tennis with a Heart

So cute children! Great that they have an activity to keep them occupied and off the streets and out of trouble and something they can put their energy into thats positive with discipline.

Do they have any preference on what type of rubbers they receive? Like tacky, non-tacky, control oriented, etc. And are there any companies nearer to there that could ship it directly to them, like I think Pingpongonline is based in the Philippines. You could buy a whole box of 729 FX supersoft and have them train with that for the price of one of those used Bryce sheets.

My question is how can we forward out "used" rubber to the kids?  Our rubber might have past its peak for us, but might have plenty of life in it for young developing players.

Is there some kind of fund-raiser to which we can contribute?  Is there an inexpensive rubber that can be purchased in large quantities for the kids?

I allways give my old rubbers and even blades I don't want to the young players in my club. It's a good thing to do :)

The children are so cute. When I watch the video, I found that they are using a very old damaged blade with a very poor rubbers but they all have a beauty smiley face. A used rubbers / cheap rubbers can be a good stuff for them, help them to train with a better equipment.

yogi, please feel free to ask if you have any needs.

Thanks for your video.

I am glad to see those rubbers are so helpful for the kids. Just imagine how many poor kids are there from the underdeveloped countries or from the slum areas of the developing countries who love table tennis as much as we do. There so many warm heart members on this forum that are ready to help out those kids. I would encourage anyone who has access to helping out those kids, please feel free to use mytabletennis.net forum as a platform to post your needs and I believe there will be many warm heart members out there to donate their used rubbers and rackets.It is just little cost on us but great help for the kids.

Thanks yogi for the effort on his project. And I hope to see more projects like this and mytt forum could be a good platform to help implementing the projects.

these are the pics that were taken when the rubbers and rackets given by adham & ittf, pingpongrob, boz, cagaragesales were distributed to the kids. some were sent to the provinces and im still waiting for the pics.. thank you all for helping this project mine come to reality..
