In the 95th Peace Boat Round the Earth Cruise, equipment was delivered to Nicaragua, such as baseball, volleyball, soccer, and basketball from Japan to interact with government agencies and educational institutions through sports.
We visited Jose Shendell Elementary School and the baseball team of Corinthian City Hall to deliver baseball equipment, soccer equipment, volleyball, and flying discs. The government and city hall do not priorities sports education and support to the youth in Nicaragua, neglecting to provide sports equipment and shoes due to financial constraints.
100 people participated in a baseball exchange program in hopes by the city hall to reduce delinquency, violence, and crime rates for local children through the use of sports.
