Pope Francis receives Table Tennis equipment
(Vatican Radio) Pope Francis
on Wednesday received a special white Table Tennis table with personalized
paddles in an effort to promote UnPlugNPlay Day, which encourages family and
friends to put away their computers, mobile phones, and other devices in order
to have fun, and connect with those they love.
The table tennis equipment
was given to the Holy Father by Franco Sciannimanico, the President of the
Italian Table Tennis Federation, and Robert Blackwell Jr., managing director of
the American company Killerspin, which manufactures Table Tennis equipment.
The two men said during the
encounter, which took place shortly before the General Audience, Pope Francis
recalled the role of table tennis in the 1970’s détente between China and the
United States.
This year, UnPlugNPlay Day
will take place on August 29.
