URGENT MESSAGE FROM OUR FOUNDER, JOSEPH OYEBOG
MEET LEIGH
This is Leigh. She is 9 years old now. She has been playing tennis since she was three. This video was taken when she was five. There are at least 20 more children with her extraordinary ability. The only resource they have is OTA. OTA takes children from the age of three and through tennis, helps them develop not only tennis skills but life skills. Everyone benefits, though not all have Leigh’s potential. With your help, Leigh and others like her might someday play on the world stage, might someday be number one in the world! This will not happen without OTA and without your support. Please consider a generous donation now to help Leigh and the other 1,250 children in the OTA program reach their full potential.

OTA COVID-19 RELIEF FUND
Donation: $37,050.00 / $100,000.00
The academy at Souza is the heart of OTA. This is where the brightest, most talented and most needy live, train and attend local schools. Money for food will run out by mid June, medical and sanitary supplies are in short supply and maintenance to the water supply system, campus and courts must be continued. Recently 6 children have had to be treated for malaria, typhoid and possibly COVID-19 at a cost of over $6,000. The children and staff at Souza grapple daily with life and death issues yet remain hopeful of a life post COVID-19 but they urgently need your help to do so.
