アルバイトみたいな経験
小嶋さんの代わりにエシカルペイフォワードでスタッフのひとりとして働きました。日本滞在中にお店で働く機会がえられたことは、楽しいことでした。日本語を流暢に話すアンジャナさんは接客や販売をうまくやっていました。でも、お店（１Ｆ）にはトイレがなかったので、近所のトイレを使わないといけないことが残念ホテルのトイレを使うのに遠慮していたのですが、小嶋さんが遠慮しなくていいと言いました。そう言われても躊躇していたわたしに、スタッフはとても親切でした。スタッフは優しく、トイレを使わせてくれました。東京はバリアフリーですが、まだまだ改善の余地があります。この日のお客さまは中川陽子さんで、社会起業家として成功している女性です。働く親を持つ子どもたちのためにカフェを始めています。子どもたちは親が忙しいとき、家で一人きりで食事をしたり、誰かと一緒に食事する時間がなかったりします。その場所は、日本にありますが、子どもが社会と繋がり健康に育つ環境を提供しています。多くの子どもたちは自宅で用意された新鮮な食事より、コンビニのジャンクフードに頼りがちになります。ジャンクフードは子どもに必要な栄養が補えません。孤独は子どもたちの社会生活態度を脅かします。中川さんのカフェの発想は、子どもたちが家族といるように新鮮な食事をする環境を得る機会になります。家族で子どもたちを育む健康的な食事とお互い様を促進することができます。中川さんが地域社会の社会調和を目指す社会事業で表彰されていることは喜ばしいことです。Instead of Mr. Kojima who worked for Ethical Pay Forward, I worked as a store number.It was fun to get a chance to work in the store while staying in Japan.Mr. Anjana who speaks Japanese fluently did well in customer service and sales of customer service.But there was no toilet in the shop, so it was disappointing that we had to go to the neighborhood hotel.I hesitated to go to the hotel only to use the toilet, but said Mr. Kojima should not hold back.Even so, when I go refraining, the staff responded very kindly,The staff was kind and said that please use it.Tokyo is a barrier free city, but there is still room for improvement.25 September 2018, Anjana san and I was part time job at Ethical Pay Forward shop. It was an interesting part of life in Japan to have a chance to work in a shop. Anjana did a good job to deal with customer and selling We are feeling hesitation to go to the hotel for using toilet only, however, Kojima san Staffs kindly offered us to use rest room. It was a great relief for us. Major public are barrier free in Tokyo but still many places and buildings need to be made accessible.The customer for the day was Ms. Yoko Nakagawa; a successful woman in social entrepreneurship. She has started a cafe for children whose parents are engaged in job. Children have to eat alone at home when their parents are busy and no time to accompany them during the meal. This situation - in Japan - has created a social and health related challenge for growing children. Mostly children depend upon junk foods from the convenient shoprather than fresh food prepared at home. Junk food does not fulfill needed nutrition for children. Loneliness has put to threat of social behavior of children. Nakagawa san's cafe is a place where children get a chance to have fresh mealin an family environment. It has been able to promotea healthy food and mutual careto thrive the children in a family environement. I was pleased to hear that she was awarded for her outstanding contribution through her social businessof improving social harmony in the community.
