On September 24, we started a meeting without tarps or tents, since there was a little less heat. The particpants were the big Vietnamese group, regular Sagami Women’s University group, Tama Technical High School group, the Ethiopian group, and general volunteers.
We also had a special guest, Mr. Sengoku from Nagoya. In order to launch a similar activity in his hometown, he said, he wanted to see our activity in action and experience the work himself.
The sun got stronger near noon, and we set up tarps and tents. There were so many people that some could not get into the shade. We called out to them not to work in the sun for a long time.
With 36 participants, 15 wheelchairs were cleaned, refurbished, and packed. The 90 unis for Ethiopia are now in place, and we’re aiming for container ship departure in October.
Thank you to all participants!
