Just wanted to bring to everyone's attention a project known as Tennis Aid. It is the brainchild of two Spanish coaches and the purpose is to take tennis to some of the poorest people in the world. The organization was launched in 2014, I think, but the website has only gone live in the last couple of days.

So far, they have supplied tennis equipment and coaching to children in Uganda and Cambodia. Most of the videos have commentary in Spanish, I'm afraid, but there are small sections in English.
There is also a GB connection as Abel Rincon, one of the two founders, just happens to be coach on the men's side to Alex Ward, Dan Dowson and James Allemby. I also notice that on the "collaborators" page, Amanda Carreras also gets a brief mention.
Seems like a very worthy cause to me. I am sure any messages of support (not to mention donations) would be very welcome. And don't worry about the language if sending a message as Abel speaks excellent English.
This thread seems a bit weird - the last post keeps refreshing with a new name in the profile and then posting the same detail - somehow erasing what is there previously?
It feels like it is being hacked? Anyone any ideas and can we stop it (is this lack the days of furniture sales we used to get a couple of years ago?)
Fantastic initiative,I know some of the guys involved in this, one has recently left his top level job he's been doing for years saying he has "a new project" underway hopefully to take this further
Initiative is good, it is just the last post (says it is from NicholeFrench) that seems weird and keeps changing profile etc..and is obviously not relevant to the issue at hand!
