Ishinomaki 石巻

[kareraisu_10]

In exactly four weeks, I will be flying back to London.  Time really flies and it has been a good two months here in Japan.  It has been eventful and a fruitful trip, lots of precious encounters and memories that I’ll return to London with.  Since I have quite a long bus ride to Osaka (to catch Massu’s final butai) I thought I’d update a little on

amazing team

[mocoharuma]

First of all I would like to congratulate you and your voluntary group for a great job well done. You area all amazing/great and admirable.... ! Kokoro kara, I really do admire you all. I salute.

THIS ONE IS VERY TOUCHING. I really cried. so proud
This concludes my very brief trip to Ishinomaki. It was brief but I learnt a lot from the people in Ishinomaki. Having experienced all that and yet not losing hope and faith, going about their everyday lives with a smile and hoping for the best. It was very touching yet humbling at the same time. Every time I mention to my Japanese friends that I went to Ishinomaki as a volunteer, they never fail to say ‘Arigatou gozaimasu. Thank you for helping us.’ While it seems like I went to Ishinomaki to help the locals, I do think that at the end of the day, the one who gained the most is me.

Thank you, NADIA. Thank you, people of Ishinomaki.
Thank you so much Chris for this wonderful report. for those photos you shared. My respect
hugs, hugs, hugs

よんでくれてありがとうございます！
いいえ、いいえ、とんでもないです。The NADIA team is really wonderful, especially those who have been going to Ishinomaki without fail for the past two years... I really didn't do much...
