Thank you always for your support to provide opportunities for children in Kumamoto.
Spring is finally here! Cherry trees in MORIUMIUS have bloomed beautifully. Birds are back in forest providing soothing sounds everyday.
Some of the highlights we had was collaboration with local elementary school to make miso as well as to provide presentation opportunity about their town to international visitors. Miso is only made in winter when bacteria is not active and easy to control. Presentation was made to students from University of Hong Kong. Both opportunity gave students realized the rich resources their hometown has, and gain proud to be children of Ogatsu.
We now have date set to invite children from Kumamoto. We are going to invite children from October 6 through 8. This is the three day holiday in Japan. As we have started to invite children from Kumamoto back in 2015, this invitatin tour has been annual occatin for us. We feel that it is important to be away from Kumamoto, comapre and think about their lives from other location. Also, children can feel and learn from Ogatsu, a town devastated by tsunami in 2011 and still in a process of recovering.
MORIUMIUS is a place to provide sustainable learning opportunities for children. Children including ones that are living in difficult conditions, inviting children from Kumamoto is certainly a special occation for us. We are working with local partners to spread word and plan for the tour in October.
I will keep you updated for the tour. Thank you again for your support, without it the opportunity will not be created.
Warm regards,
Gentaro Yui
