Support for raising children Kanagawa Ward 4

　In this month's “Director General People and Town Exploration (outside site)”, we visited the “Nursing Oyako Network Gift” which is active to deepen our understanding of disabilities in the community.
　
"Nursing Oyako Network Gift" was born in 2015 in the wake of the "Nursing Parent-Child Friends Talk", which began in 2015 at Kanachie, a Kanagawa Ward area. Focusing on parents who raise children who need nursing care, we are working on activities such as creating a place for conversation, enlightenment workshops, and creating time for learning.

　On this day, it was a regular meeting once a month. Members were preparing for a workshop to be held at Kamihoshikawa Elementary School the following week. This is a "knowing differences" workshop for faculty members. Based on the philosophy of gifts, "To a world where people can live with interesting personalities in various ways, we look at the fact that everyone has a difference" and "know the difference" It is said that it is implemented with the hope that it will be an opportunity to think about how to create an area where each other can live and a comfortable school and class where it is easy to spend.

　Faculty and staff are subject to regular transfers. A workshop was planned with the expectation that the teacher who received the training conveyed the feeling of valuing "knowing differences" at the elementary school where the idea of "different and interesting" will spread in various places. Was.

　Gifts say that the activities of the group are "seed sowing activities". Like the fluff of a dandelion, the idea is to spread the desire to know the difference is spread. In the future, I would like you to continue your gift activities with your thoughts for a long time.
