Dear readers,

We may just be one month into the new year, but at Pro Sport Development, we hit the ground running. 

This month, we launched our Table Tennis for Development (TT4D) Handbook, created in partnership with the ITTF Foundation and GIZ. For participants of our Community Table Tennis program, we organized a mixed-gender table tennis tournament on the 29th of January. Finally, we also held two training workshops this month - one for Mahila Jan Adhikar Samiti in Ajmer, and another for SAKAR in Bareilly. The workshops focused on using sport-based methodologies to empower youth leaders to become impactful changemakers in their communities.
