Our club's player Daiki NIWA has been continuing his activities to support the children affected by the 2011 Great East Japan Earthquake, such as donating soccer balls and planting grass on the playground of a kindergarten in Miyako City, Iwate Prefecture in June last year. This time, we will be implementing these activities at "Hondagakuen Ajisai Kindergarten" in Kamimashiki District, Kumamoto Prefecture.

[Player Daiki NIWA's Comment]
"Hello everyone. When I visited Ajisai Kindergarten last time, we planted grass seeds to properly establish the lawn on the field. This time, we will do additional seeding of the grass and also hold a soccer clinic."
I will do my best to contribute to this activity to the fullest extent possible in my current position.
I am looking forward to meeting everyone at Ajisai Kindergarten.
□ About the "Takumi Niwa Turf Project"
[Overview]
We will convert the soil grounds of kindergartens, elementary schools, and junior high schools that have been affected by disasters such as earthquakes into lawns using the Evergreen method (seeding).
【Objective】
① "For the future children"
We want to create an environment where children can play and progress outside, and through various sports, we want them to experience the greatness of sports and realize its importance.
② "Improvement of safety"
When falling during activities such as running, the grass acts as a cushion, making it less likely to get injured and making outdoor play more enjoyable.
③ "Improvement of comfort"
The rise in temperature during the summer is suppressed, allowing for comfortable outdoor play even in the summer.
[Target] Kindergartens, elementary schools, and junior high schools in areas affected by the earthquake
