On July 16th, BNP Paribas Bulgaria and the Bulgarian Tennis Federation (BTF) organized a tennis camp for children from the Home for the Disabled in Mezdra, Bulgaria. Ilija Atanassov, the Director of Tennis Development at the BTF, gave a tennis lesson on central court to an eager audience. For the young boys and girls who took part, it was a special day – after the training they had a nice meal and a sightseeing tour around one of Bulgaria’s most interesting and famous natural wonders, the Ledenika cave.

The event, organized in cooperation with the Bulgarian Tennis Federation, is part of BNP Paribas’ program “Tennis for Everybody”, which offers underprivileged and disabled children regular tennis lessons. Both partners have increased their involvement and now conduct three events per month in four cities (Sofia, Plovdiv, Varna and Mezdra). BNP Paribas has also purchased mini-tennis equipment for the Home for the Disabled, thus giving the children the opportunity to train more often.
