[Activities]
・FIH Children’s Farm Maintenance
The children participated in farm work, experiencing nature firsthand and learning valuable lessons about harvesting and the growth of plants.
・Setsubun Bean-Throwing Ceremony
To celebrate the seasonal tradition, a Setsubun bean-throwing ceremony was held. Mr. Kazuyuki Ishihara played the role of the “oni” (demon), and the children enthusiastically shouted, “Out with the demons! In with good fortune!” while sharing a joyful time together.
[Meal Gathering]
We served yakiniku, yakisoba, takoyaki, and rice balls. This month, the yakiniku, made using meat provided by our company, was especially popular and brought many smiles to the children’s faces. We are delighted that everyone enjoyed the meal.
We would like to express our heartfelt gratitude to all participants and the volunteers who supported this event. We remain committed to actively supporting the local community and fostering a bright future for children through our ongoing activities.
