Project updating

The initiative has reached its second operating year. By 2020, more participants will be involved and thanks to the experience of 2019, the activities can be set up in compliance with the needs of each community involved. The supply of clothing and technical material (rackets, balls and nets for mini tennis) always remains a priority. In light of the relevant international shipping costs for materials (including custom fees), we are checking the possibility of purchasing what is needed locally. Despite the technical problems, we have the confirm that the initiative achieves its goals, namely social inclusion: so we are on the right track. For us, the involvement of top players and sports managers is essential to ensure adequate fundraising: we thank all those who are helping us.
