The recent historic voyage to visit the soldiers and people of the Truong Sa (Spratly) Islands and the DK1 platforms, commemorating the 100th anniversary of Vietnam Revolutionary Press, was not only a journey of gratitude but also a heartfelt mission to deliver love and solidarity to the soldiers guarding the country’s remote frontlines. During this meaningful expedition, Double Fish was honored to accompany the delegation, bringing meaningful gifts — table tennis tables, table tennis racket, and balls — to seven island outposts, delivered directly aboard the fisheries surveillance vessel KN-290, which we had the privilege of traveling with for over a week.

Double Fish: Strengthening Bonds with Vietnam’s Islands and Seas

For Double Fish, this was not merely a charitable activity, but a heartfelt commitment to stand alongside our homeland’s maritime territories. We understand that life on remote islands poses many material and emotional challenges for the soldiers. By delivering these gifts, we hope to make a small contribution to improving their living conditions and bringing them moments of joy and connection.

A Table as a Gift, a Table as a Bond: Bringing a Piece of the Mainland to the Sea

Donating table tennis sets is more than offering equipment — it's about creating recreational spaces, delivering a meaningful form of entertainment in the middle of the vast ocean.

On the mainland, table tennis is a popular sport that helps develop physical fitness, agility, and team spirit. We hope that soldiers stationed on distant islands can enjoy similar experiences. The time spent playing and training with table tennis can help them:

- Enhance physical health: Maintain endurance and strength in the challenging marine environment.

- Relieve stress: Alleviate fatigue and pressure after long hours of training and duty.

- Foster camaraderie: Provide a space for bonding and building stronger relationships among comrades.

• Uplift mental wellbeing: Bring joy and excitement, giving soldiers renewed motivation to perform their noble duties.
•  

Double Fish firmly believes that wherever they are — from the bustling mainland to the farthest island outposts — our soldiers deserve the best support in both material and emotional aspects. We deeply respect and appreciate the silent sacrifices they make and hope these small gifts can ease their homesickness, offer moments of relaxation, and infuse their lives with positive energy.

We are proud to be part of this meaningful journey, alongside around 100 leaders from press agencies, journalist associations, reporters, and editors, to pay tribute and support the brave soldiers safeguarding our nation’s sacred sovereignty. Double Fish remains committed to continuing such impactful activities, standing in solidarity with the forces who tirelessly protect our country day and night.
