Table Tennis with a Heart

I started this project 2 years ago in our province giving used rubbers and now its on a 5-city scale level.. cole was kind enough to help me 2 years ago and now Im so glad a lot of people here at mytt are also very kind in sending me rubbers for these poor kids. here are the links for the 2 videos, these are the 2 clubs that i gave the rubbers not counting other individual kids ive given the rubbers to. pics will be posted this week since im too busy..

the first one is a group of elementary kids who are being trained by a national player who was with my deceased mentor and now he is also teaching me.. these kids have just been learning table tennis for about 2 months. the place is good, it has 8 tables but the problem is that they don't have a funding from their city government. they are mostly using addoy premade bats from btty. imagine their faces when they learned that they will receive rubbers..

the 2nd video is from a group of kids trained by a coach friend of mine.. these kids are very poor since they live in the slum areas in their district.. you could see the small kids (about 5 and 6 yr olds) playing and would you believe they have only been learning table tennis for more than a month only.. this coach friend of mine is the one that trains them and he spends his own money no wonder he is not married at the age of 47!!

a total of 42 rubbers were sent by alex and ttrubberman, the vids are just part of the kids i gave the rubbers to, there are still others that i need to get the pics this week. i thank alex and ttrubberman for helping me and sending me even new ones. boz also sent me a shipment of used rubbers but i still havent received them.. other kind people also promised to send me but ill mention their names once i receive them..

i think being a table tennis player does not end in mastering your strokes and footwork but rather its just the beginning of a journey. character development transitions to being a better individual thru sports in this case, table tennis. i did not post this to uplift myself but to share the experience and joy of sharing to other unfortunate kids. im not asking you people to help as of the moment because i think i have enough already but each of us in our own way in our own places can help foster the growth of table tennis especially to the younger generations.. maybe if each of us in our own country can do this, table tennis will be more popular. i dunno how long will it take but i guess it has to start in a small way..

again, we are not just sportsmen but rather people who have the character, discipline and compassion for our sport not only for our own advancement but also for the development of others in our beloved sport..

Shanghai bids farewell to massive World Expo fair

Shanghai is bidding farewell to the World Expo - a six-month event showcasing China's rise in the world.

Prime Minister Wen Jiabao described the fair as "splendid", saying it "truly brought together people around the globe".

Officials say a record 72m people - most of them from across China - visited pavilions staged by more than 240 countries and organisations.

China has reportedly spent some $60bn (£37bn) preparing for the fair.

The figure - mentioned in Chinese state media - is more than was spent on the Beijing Olympics in 2008.

However, the Shanghai government only confirms that its budget for the fair was $4.2bn.
'Experiencing the world'

Chinese officials said at the opening of the World Expo on 1 May that it was an opportunity to promote the country's "soft power" - to show off its growing influence in the world.

A visitor at the Mexican pavilion

* Theme is Better City, Better Life
* 72m visitors, mostly Chinese
* 192 countries and 50 organisations on show
* First Expo in developing country
* Site is 5.3sq km, twice the size of Monaco
* Standard day ticket is 160 yuan ($23: £15)
* China says cost is $4.2bn - others say some $60bn

Highlights of the events included Denmark's famous Little Mermaid sculpture, impressionist paintings from the Louvre at France's pavilion, entertainment by Canada's Cirque du Soleil and many others.

The majority of the visitors have been ordinary Chinese from around the country, who often had to queue for hours to see some of the most popular pavilions.

"Thanks to the Expo, people like me who never would have a chance to go abroad can experience the whole world," Zou Aiguo, a pensioner from China's Jiangxi province, was quoted as saying by the Associated Press news agency.

The site itself is huge, twice the size of Monaco, straddling both sides of the Huangpu river in the city centre.

Aiming to make the event a green one in keeping with its theme "Better City, Better Life", Shanghai has been using electric buses and cars and installed energy-saving air conditioning and water filters around the city.

"The Shanghai Expo will close soon but it will not be forgotten," UN Secretary General Ban Ki-moon said.

"Let us keep the Shanghai vision alive in our discussions and our lifestyles."

However, not everyone in Shanghai has been pleased by the event, with some local residents complaining that they had been forced out of old housing to make way for the Expo site.
