We hosted a "Nature Experience Program" last month at Senbonmatsu Farm, inviting 20 children from "Chance For All," an NPO that runs afterschool programs in Tokyo. Throughout the day, the children enjoyed learning about circular dairy farming, tasting fresh soft ice cream, interacting with animals, and cultivating the soil—rare opportunities for city-dwelling children. SMBC offers various events and experience programs for families, including support for educational opportunities. By collaborating with diverse partners, we aim to create a greater impact and contribute to a better society. #TeamSMBC #ChanceForAll
