From July 16th to 18th, we conducted the sale of coffee and tea to support Malawi, alongside students from Nagasaki International University. Prompted by Professor Brendan Vandusen of the Department of Human and Social Studies, International Tourism, we organized a seminar with seminar students to learn about the supporting country, researched marketing strategies, and practiced sales within the university.
