A work colleague from Chie’s office and her kids have joined forces with us in Ishihara-san’s network of volunteers. Today we delivered packages for the Project “Christmas” to Ishihara-san. Once we were done we continued to Yasaka for dinner together.

At Yasaka we had tori-yaki until we could eat no more, and then we had ice cream from Baskin-Robin. It was all very yummy.

Between eating we had a chance to talk with the kids – around 10 (boy) and 6 (girl) years old. They are such nice kids – once they heard Chie was doing volunteer work after the earthquake and tsunami they also wanted to help in some way. So they started collecting money at their school and bought cookies for the kids in Kobuchihama and Fukukiura. They also donated their old bike, first bringing it up to their bathroom to clean it by themselves.

It was a very nice time. At 9 pm Shio-chan was getting tired so we decided the dinner was at and we all went home.
