## 1st Anniversary Label: "Dawn for the Future" Embodied in its Design
The commemorative label, launched this time, symbolizes the passion of the student staff who worked at the pavilion and the growth (legacy) in Malawi brought about by continuous support.
- Visual Concept: The powerful sun in the center represents the dawn in Malawi and the bright future of children shining through support.
- Fusion of Tradition and Innovation: A design that merges traditional African geometric patterns with the vibrancy of Kansai. It expresses the bond of "Warm Hearts of Africa" transcending physical distance.
- Symbol of Legacy: The "Malawi × Kansai" logo at the bottom indicates that the coffee loved at the pavilion continues to be a source of support, still managed by students and citizens in Kansai.
## From Expo to Community. The "Circle of Support" Connected by Kansai Members
After the closing of the Expo, the Kansai-based team has deepened its activities along the following three pillars, without letting the enthusiasm born at the pavilion fade.
- Establishing a Business Model: Expanding partnerships with restaurants and events in the Kansai area. The mechanism of "a cup of coffee becomes a school meal" has been embedded as a business model that can be sustained effortlessly in daily life.
- Practicing Next-Generation Education: Delivering lectures at approximately 80 educational institutions. Students who became aware of international cooperation at the Expo are now proactively planning and managing in-school sales and workshops.
- Community-Based Support: Pursuing "support with a visible face" that goes beyond mere donations. Leveraging expertise in school meal support in Malawi, they have also begun collaborating with "children's cafeterias" within Japan. The goodwill that started at the Expo is now creating a cycle that connects to supporting children within Japan.
## Towards the Next Year. A Story Beginning with a Cup of Coffee
Taking this commemorative label coffee means continuing to weave the story of support that began at the pavilion, together. All proceeds from the sale of this product will be directly delivered as school meal expenses for children in Malawi. We will continue to expand the "circle of praise and empathy" throughout Kansai and Japan.
