They put in 10 intense days of volunteer effort: coaching clinics and playing in exhibition matches. With their help the Tennis Camp was able to use 6 tennis courts at the same time at Malliouhana Hotel and Carimar Beach Club, with only a few children per court and more individual attention and more advanced lessons.

"The experience I gained in Anguilla has opened my eyes even wider to the many wonderful people and cultures that exist in this diverse world. I enjoyed the enthusiasm of the children as they expressed their love for the game, along with their well-behaved manners and kindness towards me. I would also like to thank the Anguillan people for their hospitality and reverence. You are truly a wonderful people, and well deserving of the utmost respect.
