Last Thursday, the Women’s Club
of Sendai Christ Church had its monthly visit to Shinchi’s temporary housing
complex, Hirotta. Every month, as we have mentioned before, they gather for “hotto
corner” or tea time in English. They take delicious cakes, tea, and coffee. This
time they also took many donated items for a mini-bazaar.
After enjoying one another’s
company over some tea and cakes, we sang some songs. They were fun well known Japanese
songs. We enjoyed them so much that encore was requested. Then everyone was
invited into the lovely weather outside to partake of the mini-bazaar. Sadly
the majority of the clothes were way too small for the residents. We promised
them that we would bring bigger sizes next month. One of the women living in
this complex said that having these gatherings made living in these tiny units
bearable. Thank you to everyone that makes these events possible.
