With participation in the 2007 AFC Champions League (ACL), we started grassroots international exchange in Asian countries. We carried out grassroots exchanges that convey the importance and the enjoyment of sports, and the development of healthy young people.
We Visited 5 places, including a local elementary school, an orphanage, a deaf school, and a local Japanese school, the Urawa Reds Heartful Club's philosophy of "heart of sympathy," "heart of trust," and "heart of working hard" that were disseminated through lectures and practical skills. Even though there was a language barrier, everyone who participated was full of smiles because they interacted through the common sport of soccer.
See below for the Japanese version.

Feedback from Organizer :
At the local elementary school, all the students welcomed us. Also, since this visit was decided, the principal and the governor have been looking forward to it. They even prepared a welcome board and accepted it very warmly.
