沢山の子供達、保護者の方が呼びかけに賛同して下さりこれからも行って行くつもりです。
まだまだ少しですが、何か力になれたら・・・と取り組んでいます。
協力してくれる子供達に私達からのお礼として、募金箱を電話の貯金箱にしてみました。
コインを入れるとリンリンと音がなります。
そして歌が一曲流れます。
熊本の方々と繋がっているんだよ。熊本の人たちへのメッセージを・・・送ろうと言うと
受話器に向かって
「頑張って！」
や、それぞれの思いをと叫んでくれます。
今日は雨が降っています。寒いし、大変だと思います。皆さんが過ごせる場所と食べ物や飲み物が届きますように。
別に衣服や色々な物も別に集め少しでもお手伝い出来るように呼びかけをしていきます。
まだまだ募金は受付けます。その他の物に関しては又追って連絡させて頂きますのでみなさんご協力よろしくお願いします。
As you know some very big earthquakes have hit the Kumamoto area in southern Japan. There has been a lot of damage and many people have had to evacuate their homes. Nights are still cold and some people are living in their cars as it is safer for them. There are also still many aftershocks.
I have been thinking what we can do for them at ELS21. I announced to all my students, their parents, other teachers and staff about making donations.
I have prepared a nice piggy bank for them. It looks like an old style of Japanese telephone. When you put money in it, it rings and plays music.
With the donations I would like to give something to everyone who has had trouble.
I don't think we will collect a lot of money. However I think even a small amount will be helpful.
It is good for my students to think about other and understand even if they can not directly help someone even a small amount of kindness goes a long way.
We will collect for two or three weeks then I will pass it on to the Red Cross. I will tell ELS21 members how much we have collected and keep a proper record of the donations.
