The Minister of Justice recently presented a letter of appreciation to President Ono today, in recognition of his many years of visiting Naniwa Juvenile Training School and his efforts to support the social reintegration of current juveniles. This is part of the " Brighter Society Campaign. " The letter was presented by Director Goto of Naniwa Juvenile Training School.

This activity has been carried out continuously since 2009 with the cooperation of the Ibaraki Rose Lions Club. Through demonstrations, mini games, and question-and-answer sessions, players and coaches convey the importance of communication and the importance of making friends, as well as their own experiences of hardship and failure, in the hope of aiding the students' return to society.

For the players who visit juvenile detention centers, it helps them develop a sense of awareness as professional soccer players and gives them the experience of communicating with others.

We would like to thank the Ibaraki Rose Lions Club and Naniwa Juvenile Prison for their continued cooperation with this activity.
GAMBA OSAKA will continue this activity and will also be proactively involved in the healthy development of young people.
