This month's Kokorogake

The heat wave and the typhoon are coming again.A cold with high fever seems to be popular.Is your physical condition okay?

 

It ’s just one day in summer vacation,Participating in a mud volunteer in Mami-cho, Okayama Prefecture, which was affected by the heavy rain in western JapanI came. The mission of the day was for a house that was flooded to the second floor,Scraping the soil while leaving the bamboo mud in the garden and the indoor dirt wallIt was work. I was worried about what I would do,The mud is already dry and shiny.Digging steadily with a small scoop for gardening instead of a big scoopFor women rather at work,Whether there has been such a concentration and feeling of achievement in recent years ...

Communicate with family membersTeam work while checking priorities in a limited time.When family members get used to it, while showing their smartphone photos,At that time, like thisI told you to cut the weir.I think this is because the volunteer members were outsiders. "Volunteer Center phone is not connected,Two weeks after I finally applied. I came for the first time. ''When we say goodbye, they are remnant,It was a day that all volunteers had to come again.

 

What surprised me was thatThe Volunteer Center was operating systematically. When we arrived at Shin-Kurashiki Station early in the morning,Piston transportation of dedicated large bus has already started,Hundreds of people lined up at the Borasen-based gymnasium,A lot of single people, groups and foreigners!It is a dedicated app for modern functions.Application and check-in time is reduced with smartphones. Still, line up,Based on the explanation, grouped roles were decided,About an hour and a half passed when we arrived at the site.The first five-person team is all male except me. Designated home of mission,Select necessary tools (unicycle, scoop, sandbag, etc.).At the time of dissolution after completing the mission,Even if there is a commemorative photo, there is no exchange of contacts (laughs).A once-in-a-lifetime meeting full of consideration.

It may be unscrupulous,It was an unforgettable day for my feelings.
