The student group SPW is working for elementary school students in Japan and overseas based on the philosophy of "sharing the joy of sports with children around the world." This year, SPW held a full-scale event in Myanmar.
At the event, the students played sports such as relays. Also, for the first time as a student group SPW, they were able to hold an event centered on Ultimate overseas and taught the children the rules of Ultimate who all enjoyed it together. We hope that children will learn a lot by enjoying sports and make use of them in various situations in the future to create a better world.
The equipment used at the event was donated together with the athletic clothes so that children could continue to enjoy sports.
