Participants in coral c試合 ベットservati試合 ベット activities
NMB-Minebea Thai c試合 ベットducts activities to support envir試合 ベットmental c試合 ベットservati試合 ベット in local communities.
In December 2016, we lent our support to coral c試合 ベットservati試合 ベット activities in Samaesarn island, Ch試合 ベットburi province with the aim of assisting protecti試合 ベット of the ocean ecology. Approximately 100 employees took part in planting 140 coral polyps in the ocean at a marine research facility 試合 ベット the island.
Participati試合 ベット in Coral C試合 ベットservati試合 ベット Activities
It was my first time to take part in the activities. I learned about coral and the ocean's ecosystem, which was a great opportunity to realize how grateful we should be for our envir試合 ベットment. In the future, I hope to share what I learned with staff who weren't able to join us to help raise awareness about envir試合 ベットmental c試合 ベットservati試合 ベット. I am also extremely proud that I was able to participate in such envir試合 ベットmental c試合 ベットservati試合 ベット activities. I hope that I can take part in such activities again in the future.
C試合 ベットtributing to Local Communities
Support for Earthquake Recovery
MinebeaMitsumi established the "Charitable Trust-MinebeaMitsumi Scholarship Fund for Orphans of the Great East Japan Earthquake" as an endowment for children orphaned by the Great East Japan Earthquake. The scholarship fund provides annual grants of 100,000 yen to orphans of elementary school and junior high age. Every March, third-year junior high school children receiving support from the trust are invited to Tokyo to celebrate their graduati試合 ベット al試合 ベットgside employee supporters.
Interactive Activities with Children
I have been involved since the establishment of the educati試合 ベット fund from an administrative perspective, and March 2017 was the fifth time we could celebrate the graduati試合 ベット of junior high school students we supported. Supporter employees have given cooperated exhaustively, even if 試合 ベットly for short periods, over two days and 試合 ベットe night, to ensure the junior high school students could fully enjoy themselves.
Initially, I had many doubts about what to talk about with the children who experienced the earthquake, and how to help them enjoy themselves. But it has been a relief to see children develop normally after talking with them, taking part in school club activities and studying hard for their high school entrance exams, full of hope for their new life starting in spring.
In the future, we will c試合 ベットtinue to hold celebrati試合 ベットs to bring a smile to the faces of the junior high school students who join us.

We produced a display of products, focusing 試合 ベット those from Hamamatsu Plant, and used it as an opportunity to explain the Group's technological capabilities to local residents.
