Shine City Project
Hanae Furugaki “This event was the continuation of the last event I participated in the previous week. Our task was to remove the rust and paint over the fences. It was scorching and sunny that day, so it was hard to paint in the heat while the sun was glaring in your eye and burning your skin. We also had a substantially smaller number of volunteers, so the process felt longer and duller. However, I got to talk and know someone new, so it was a refreshing experience to paint while having an in-depth conversation about our lives. We also got to eat Zen's curry and tiramisu at the end of the day, making the event enjoyable and satisfying overall.”
