Warm greetings from Uganda!

Dear Play it on (Este Liu)

Warm greetings from Uganda!

Thank you so much for the nice work your doing for the underprivileged children in the world of tennis so that they get to know any good sports in their lives.

Recently I started the tennis project in Kyegegwa in Fort portal Uganda under Kin Initiative the project that i told you before, I named the tennis project share sports with kids initiative Uganda, because of what i have went through with the game.

I started training the kids how to play, hold and serve the tennis ball, using my few old rackets and the tennis rackets that you sent for us in Uganda Africa which are keeping a smile on us, the kids said and found tennis as a good game to be played that they have never thought that it exists, and they are able to learn how to play the game as they admire those young girls and boys swing the racket in sports newspapers.

I have been studying the area where the project is and i have seen that the highest number of the kids in area are orphans and refugees in real need, same don't have clothes, shoes, don't go to school and other move bare footed.

When i had a short visit to Gomba, a district in Uganda for one month visit to the kin Gomba project, I had went with two more tennis rackets , i found that the kids around never knew how a tennis ball and a tennis racket looked like, they asked me what what was the use and the name of the tool i was holding in my hands , i said to them that it was a tennis racket, it is used for for playing tennis a game where you hit a ball to a friend.

I got my old net and tied it on two poles and started training them how to hold the racket serve and play a new game tennis that they never new, though they have not yet turned up. We are in great need of used or new tennis balls for use.

Tennis is growing fast her with the help of the drives you sent and i have so far made it up to two tennis project in two districts Gomba and Kyegegwa share sports with kids. We are very thankful for the help your giving to us, We wish you a happy merry Christmas and a happy new year. Also i have two emails i use both.

Hope to talk next time. I used my mother's phone to write to you.

Have a nice day,
Ben Paul.

Greetings from Uganda!

Dear Este Liu,

Greetings from Uganda!

I still thank you very much for the tennis rackets that you sent for the kids in Uganda to enjoy tennis. The tennis rackets have made a big change with the kids. i tried to grip some of my old tennis rackets with the grips that you sent in the package and they are looking nice also many kids have got interest in the game and i have made it up to 7 new kids.We have a few problems with our small tennis as here it is a rainy season it over turn to some muddy, creating tennis difficult, also we lack tennis ball. I have attached a few photos that i aimed to take of the kids. I ask you to take our greetings to members of PlayItOn in San Francisco and also that we love you and we are happy for every support your giving to us in Uganda.

I am sorry for taking too long without writing,I have been busy with the school year and it came to an end yesterday, recently this year I came up to join a minor seminary here in Uganda for my high school and every thing of mine came to a change, and I am up for the next year.

looking forward to hearing from you.

Yours faithful,
Ben Paul.
