On October 29, we held a meeting with MFS Investment Management people. It was the third meeting in October. Our NGO has received long-time support from them, both in finance and activity.
Seven employees from MFS worked hard on refurbishing work and finished packing ten units. These wheelchairs are to be included into 90 wheelchairs sent to Paraguay early next year, and we will focus on completing the 90 wheelchairs for Paraguay in the meetings beginning in November.
Although it was not a regular meeting, two Sagami Women’s University students participated in support of the event. Since they have experience working in regular meetings, they were able to provide accurate advice to the MFS members. We were also impressed by their proactive response and understanding of the work process.
At the end of the meeting, I introduced part of overseas children’s lives by telling them about individual families I had seen when visiting them. I’m sure the participants would understand the necessity of sending children’s wheelchairs to those fgamilies.
We’ve got comments from MFS members, such as “Joining this activity makes it easier for us to understand the goal of your NGO,” and “The pictures drawn and sent by overseas children makes our heart warm.” We appreciate their giving us such encouraging comments. (The book of paintings by children abroad are from here.)
We’d like to thank you for your participation. We’re looking forward to working with you again.
