Jade & Fountain - Team Ping Pong
Jade & Fountain
China
Our Challenge
While the Chinese national table tennis team continues to top the ranking this season, many Chinese are losing their appetite for Ping-Pong and it is increasingly difficult to find a table to play Ping-pong in the Chinese cities. We decided it would be a great challenge and team building exercise to raise funds for CtWC.

Our Goal
We plan to travel as many miles as possible on our daily commute to work by using alternative transportation (no car or motorcycle) on Friday 17 September 2021 (during the Belgian week of mobility). This way we can raise funds for the MI "connect the world challenge" and fight against climate change (and hopefully stimulate as much colleagues as possible to regularly repeat this healthy habit).
