Ms. Fumika Miura, who was dispatched to Bhutan as a JICA volunteer, introduced the situation of table tennis in Bhutan in the magazine "Monthly Table Tennis Kingdom".
Because it was difficult to obtain new equipment, we asked for donations in a magazine. We requested donators to send table tennis equipment to Bhutan's table tennis members. We have gathered a lot of table tennis equipment that was donated by our readers and shipped them to Bhutan. The people of Bhutan were pleased with the Japanese table tennis equipment.
We have sent a thank-you note from the Bhutanese Table Tennis Federation and photos from the field to the readers who cooperated.
See below for the Japanese version.

Feedback from Organizer :
I will never forget the surprised faces and smiles of the players when they opened the box containing the equipment.
