The Great East Japan Earthquake Support Activities

Volunteer Activities Vol.21

During March 20 to 23, 17 ITOCHU Group employees visited Kesennuma City, Miyagi Prefecture and Rikuzen-Takata City, Iwate Prefecture. They interacted with local people by engaging in volunteer activities for supporting recovery at "Hanakko Batake (flower field)" and "Minna no Ie (house for everyone)."

I could feel the full-scale movement toward recovery. When we interacted with a local boys’ baseball team, we were given more power from the boys than we intended to give them.
