New Table Tennis Table for Belgrade Youth
Along with the shipment of clothes, food, toiletries and other basic humanitarian needs, a recent Gifts in Kind shipment to Belgrade, Serbia, included a table tennis table which one of WJR’s donors kindly gave. The table was given to a Jewish Youth Centre in Belgrade.
Eva, who is president of the Belgrade youth, and a recipient of one of the CONNECTIONS student scholarships, wrote the following:
It is always a pleasure to receive something new and useful for our youth. Knowing that the young people are usually into sports, the new PING-PONG table seemed just perfect for our club facilites.
Easy to fold and open, it doesn’t take much space when not used. Once opened, our club becomes a real battlefield! We have organised a small tournament on Saturday evening and invited some of our members who enjoy this sport to take their chances. We even persuaded the president of the Community to participate!
Apart from the tournament, we are proud to say that not a day passes without opening the table and playing a match or two. It has really brought life and a breath of fresh air to our Centre, along with the spring time which has already come to our city!
