Ready for action…
…with super heroes on the scene…
…and paddle slingers showing off their skills…
…the gladiators entered the arena, prepared for some pong, and some ping… Some “ping pong” – better yet – “water pong” action…
And though the action of the ping pong tournament was fierce…
…sportsmanship prevailed on this fine April evening in the Centennial High School gym and cafeteria…
…and more than that, a greater purpose prevailed during this clash of the ping pong playing personalities – helping other people.
Thousands die, all over the world – ever day – because they don’t have clean water to drink. And because of these “gladiators of the pong” coming together to have some fun, and raise some money – a well will be established in Africa that will provide a doctor with clean water for his 200 bed hospital, where there was NONE before. You heard me – no clean, running water in a HOSPITAL. (In the middle of this picture, you can see the doctor’s sister fighting back the tears as they discuss the dire situation of her brother back home…)
If this angers and stirs you as much as it does me, and you’d like to do something – check it out for yourself (http://www.waterforourworld.com/) and see how you can get involved and make a difference. It won’t only change the lives of those you help, but it may just change yours too.
