Chapter 13: Table Tennis Club


We started a table tennis club!! It has been running now for a few weeks. On average of about 8 - 12 students show up. We have been running it on Monday afternoons from 3:30 - 4:30 pm. We spend roughly 40 minutes playing table tennis and then 20 minutes in devotions. We currently have two tables going at once. A third table is under construction and hopefully we can get it up and running this week. For devotions we have been spending time in the book of James! It has been going really well so far.
We have also started a Table Tennis Tournament during the school lunch hour on Tuesdays and Thursdays. Their is a school close by, Mitumba School, it is a local school here and they have very little in terms of food and resources. So, as an outreach, our school has chosen to help them out by supplying them with buckets of food for this upcoming holiday season. We decided to host a ongoing table tennis tournament. We have a men's singles tournament, a woman's singles tournament and a mixed doubles tournament going on. All donations contributed to play in the tournament are going to the Mitumba students. So far we have raised closed to 6,000 ksh ($90 USD). Thanks for all your prayers!!
