Peace Ball Action Thailand collects old and new soccer balls in Japan and Thailand and continues to deliver them to disadvantaged children. In cooperation with local NGOs, we hold a soccer tournament once a year in Mae Sot, Thailand.
The children who live in Mae Sot are by no means blessed, but the happy appearance when they receive a soccer ball and score a goal tells us Japanese what "happiness" is.
Peace Ball Action wants to create a mechanism to continue the soccer tournament.
See below for the Japanese version.

Feedback from Local Contacts :
The Peace Ball Action Tournament was a great experience for more than 200 immigrant children. I hope that the tournament will be held next year as well.
