Patrick, a Haitian kid who likes Table tennis so much, he builds his own scaled down table out of a small plank of wood and an empty container as support. 
He strung his own net across the table using a couple of nails. For paddles, Patrick improvised using the lids from old paint cans. 
Recycled roller balls from used deodorant bottles proved to be the perfect substitution for the real thing. 
Once all the ‘equipment’ was constructed and ready, Patrick rallied his friends to play, teaching them the basic rules and techniques he learnt during his sessions a few weeks prior at the Sport for Hope Centre. 
And thus the “Patrick Pierre Chéry Table Tennis Club” was born in Port-au-Prince.
