We believe students can create meaningful change.

Our mission is to build stable, ongoing funding for the nutrition and training environment of the Laos National Baseball Team. We work directly with the team, raise funds through campaigns and school events, and keep every record transparent.

Our goal: ₩500,000 (about $360) a month — enough for the Laos team to keep training on fuller, healthier meals.

Why we exist

Our Mission

Sustainable global support through sport

Base on Hope is a student-led service club. We began with the Laos National Baseball Team, and we work toward two goals:

  • 1Fund meals and equipment for baseball players in developing countries through fundraising on and off campus.
  • 2Support the nutrition and training environment of national-team athletes in developing countries through stable funding, sponsorships, and donations.

Our Vision

Open the door to sport for every young athlete

Talent is everywhere, but opportunity is not. We want to help young athletes in places with fewer resources get a fair chance to play, train, and compete.

Our journey started with baseball in Laos. Our vision reaches beyond one country and one sport.

A Message from Our Founders

Dear Friends and Supporters,

Base on Hope began with a simple realization: sometimes, the most meaningful support starts not with what we want to give, but with understanding what others truly need.

During our visit to Laos for an international baseball tournament, we witnessed the passion and dedication of athletes who continued pursuing their dreams despite limited resources. Through conversations with the local baseball community, we learned that something as simple as sharing a meal could bring tremendous joy to the players.

This experience inspired us to establish Base on Hope, a student-led organization founded with the goal of providing meal support to the Laos National Baseball Team.

We believe that sports are more than competition. They bring people together, create opportunities, and inspire hope beyond borders.

Although our journey began with supporting baseball in Laos, our vision extends far beyond one country or one sport. We aspire to build a world where every athlete has the opportunity to pursue their passion, regardless of their circumstances.

As students, we recognize that our resources may be limited. Yet we believe that meaningful change does not require extraordinary beginnings. It begins with a shared purpose and the willingness to take action.

Thank you for believing in our mission and being part of our journey.

“We don’t believe hope is something we give. We believe it’s something we build together.”

With gratitude, The Founders, Base on Hope Suhyun (Kevin) Park · Minseo (Mason) Park · Gyumin Jeong
