【Myanmar】Miyazaki University Collaboration Project Myanmar Baseball Promotion and Youth Development Activities
L.M.K. Co., Ltd. is continuously carrying out baseball promotion activities in Myanmar.
With a donation from CrossBizJapan, as part of the Miyazaki University collaboration project, the company carried out youth development activities through baseball with three students from the Miyazaki University baseball club.
Atsushi Okamoto, the representative of L.M.K. Co., Ltd., and three students from the Miyazaki University baseball club participated in a match between the Myanmar national team and the Japanese team stationed in Myanmar.
Many Myanmar people and Japanese people, including Dr. Thet Khaing Win, Deputy Secretary of Health and Sports Agency, gathered at the venue to watch the game.
A baseball class was held at the children’s facility “Dream Train”, and three people from Miyazaki University provided guidance, to both Myanmar students and children of Japanese expatriates.
See below for the Japanese version.
Feedback from Local Contacts :
In the match, former Seibu Lions Mr. Okamoto and the Myanmar national team played against each other and it got exciting. It was impressive that Miyazaki University students joined the Myanmar national team and shared the joy of baseball with the national team. At the children's facility "Dream Train," Miyazaki University students were taught to enjoy baseball through education.
