Table tennis club Neuhausen

SAW Schaffhausen
Sport clubs are an essential aid for the integration of people who have had to flee their home country. Unfortunately, not all clubs are willing to open their doors to young people with mostly poor knowledge of German. Honorable exceptions include the Schaffhausen boxing club , where we also created a photo report, and the Neuhausen table tennis club, which included Nathalia in training.
Nathalia is totally committed, learning German diligently and really giving it her all in training. Both her German and her mental strength have improved enormously through the training. She can already lead the first training sessions and relieve the trainer. Nathalia already gives a lot back, and her training partners also appreciate her.
The SAH Schaffhausen does a lot to make it easier for refugees to integrate into Switzerland. If we could give out a rose like Schweizer Illustrierte, we would distribute it to the SAH, but also to the sports clubs that give foreigners who have fled to Switzerland such a great opportunity. It is certainly a little more complex to integrate young women and men who still lack language skills into the training, but in most cases a lot comes back.
As in the boxing club, Elisa Frey from SAH didn't miss the opportunity to take part in the training this time. My fingers were itching too, as I played a lot of table tennis as a kid (photos of me: Elisa Frey). After a few rallies, the old instincts and movement sequences slowly came back, but of course I had no chance against Nathalia, who was playing brilliantly ;-)
