On June 12, we had the first mini-meeting in June with regular Sagami Women’s University group and Vietnamese group. The participants were 17 in total. Since the number of the Covid-19 infected has been decreasing recently, we thought it would be OK to have a meeting with less than 20 members. Even so, we took preventive measures with great care.
The cloudy sky began to clear up and the sun was getting strong while putting wheelchairs out of the warehouse. So we set up two tents for sheltering the sunlight like last time. We got Sagami Women’s University group to divide into two teams, for cleaning and packing. Vietnamese group worked as a refurbishing team as usual. We went ahead with the work, calling everyone to drink enough water during the activity.
It was about twenty minutes after the lunchbreak that the sky suddenly darkened and the rain came pouring down following claps of thunder. We all rushed to put tools and wheelchairs into the warehouse and took shelter under the roof. Ten minutes passed, still downpouring. We decided to close the meeting and dismiss.
We were annoyed by the changeable weather today, but thanks to the hard work of the participants, we were able to measure the weight of eight wheelchairs, which we couldn’t do last time, and we also finished cleaning three units, refurbishing seven units, and packing four units of wheelchairs. Thank you, everyone!
