In the 94th Peace Boat Round the Earth Cruise, 10,000 participants delivered equipment such as baseball, volleyball, soccer, and basketball donated in Japan to Venezuela and interacted with government agencies and NGOs through sports.
Under the coordination of the Ministry of Sports, we held a baseball exchange program in which about 100 people participated. One of our goals is to reduce children's delinquency, violence and crime rates through sports. We visited Bolivar Elementary School in Vargas and the U16 Vargas Baseball Team to deliver baseball equipment, soccer equipment, volleyball, and Frisbee.
