[Activities]

・FIH Children’s Farm Maintenance
The children engaged in farm work, connecting with nature as they worked with the soil and learned about the growth of vegetables.

・Kue Filleting Experience
The children were captivated by the impressive sight of a large kue being expertly filleted before their eyes. This hands-on session provided them with valuable insights into the structure of fish and the importance of appreciating life as food.

[Meal Gathering]
A delicious meal featuring sukiyaki, kue hot pot, and ramen was served. The kue hot pot, in particular, was a big hit, and the children enjoyed their meals while gathered around the warm dishes. It was a heartwarming moment as they expressed gratitude for the food and enjoyed the comforting flavors of the season.

We remain committed to supporting the future of children through food and will continue our efforts in collaboration with the local community.
