Mr. Hiroko Kondo, an advisor, spoke about his activities carefully using slides, and many participants commented that it was "very easy to understand."
"Everyone's feelings are important for local activities." Showing care and greetings to children will lead to the next generation. I'm working with such a desire to become such an area where invisible goodwill is caught (in the children's cafeteria). It was impressive that he was talking about. Mr. Kondo's words have the weight that comes from the experience he has accumulated so far, and let's do our best again! I feel like I was able to give you a sense of energy.
