We invited U-12 female soccer players from Tokyo, Iwate, Miyagi, and Fukushima prefectures to a soccer camp (exchange through soccer) in Miyagi Prefecture.In line with this, the next day, we held an earthquake-related and hands-on learning session at Ishinomaki City Earthquake Remains Monument Kadowaki Elementary School and other locations.

I'd like to introduce you to what happened that day.
