MT PLEASANT Baptist Church is encouraging members of the community to serve up some justice at a 24-hour table tennis marathon beginning Friday evening.
The Ping-Pong-A-Thon is a fundraiser designed to support a network of organisations battling human trafficking and the exploitation of young people in Thailand, Cambodia and the Philippines.
Young Adults Pastor Jonathan Anthony said anybody above the age of eight could take part but he was particularly keen for men to get behind the initiative.
“Research suggests that when it comes to the issues of sex trafficking and modern day slavery, the majority of offenders and perpetrators are men,” he said.
