The Emmanuel Mensah Tennis and School Foundation hosted its annual tennis clinic at the Korle-Bu tennis club, drawing over 150 children from Korle-bu, Korle Gonno, Mamprobi, and surrounding neighborhoods.
This year’s edition featured donations of new tennis shoes, rackets, socks, tennis clothing, and refreshments for the kids following the clinic.
As Emmanuel Mensah, President of the Foundation, pointed out, “The increasing number of participants each year is gratifying and inspires me to do even more.” Furthermore, the foundation provides financial support to numerous young tennis players by covering their school fees. “My advice to the children is to balance tennis with education.”
