9/12 While the Okinawa teams were tidying up Zengo Station and preparing the information to be added to the Flower Road project the other students were busy working on their own projects. The students have been designing posters, evacuation maps, apps for the elderly, disaster prevention guidebooks for foreign residents, games, friendship bracelets and gender free toilet information to mention but a few. The aim is to make Toyoake a place where the elderly and foreign residents can interact together with local people and enjoy positive and interesting activities as one.
9/5 and 9/12 On these two days the 2nd grade students in the Okinawa groups began their “Flower Road” project by cleaning up one of the areas to be used. The students took out all the old flowers and weeds at Zengo Station working together with two local groups , Tanpopo and Toyoake Plant Club. It was a very hot day and the students did a great job but ran out of time so they returned the following week to finish the job. These projects are very important to strengthen the bond between Seijoh students and members of the local community. A good time was had by all.
