230 cute children attending Fukushima Wakaba Kindergarten. They looked like they were really having fun climbing on the new play equipment, jumping on it, and running around in circles! It was a cold day for the opening event, but the hot chocolate and stew made by the volunteers and teachers warmed the body and mind. “Niconico Ambassador” Mr. Gai also came to celebrate, and his fun performance made everyone’s stomachs twist. I laughed!
Following government guidance, the kindergarten was unable to play outside for almost two years after the earthquake, and the playground equipment that had been exposed to radiation had no choice but to be removed. Now, a new play set has been installed in the decontaminated garden, allowing the children to play safely in the garden for the first time in two years. It was a great day for the children, parents, volunteers, and above all, the teachers who desperately wanted the children to be able to play outside safely.
