We believe that every person should devote some of his time to helping the less fortunate. In which way? We set up Tennis for Africa as we know sport well and specifically tennis. Through the association we have realized social initiatives and events over the time to support various projects developed in Africa by both our association and the Community of Sant'Egidio. The association is made up of practitioners from several sectors, and each member works as a volunteer. |
