The day after the event held in the temporary housing of Johoku, we went to Aizu-Wakamatsu where there is more temporary housing in order to accomplish some researches.
We divided into two groups : the group that went to make a presentation at the town hall of Okuma, and the group that researched in Aizu-Wakamatsu city. The two groups joined in the afternoon to make a presentation of the POP CORN team project of this year in front of the curators of the Fukushima Museum. We received advice from them to help us order this project, and the students probably now have a better idea of what should be done in order to implement the summer event.

Temaki-zushi Festival of Okuma Tsukuba
The POP CORN team has organized a Temaki-Zushi Festival in the temporary housings located in the North of the Johoku elementary School, in the city of Aizu-Wakamatsu. Although it was the second time an event was organised in the temporary housings, many people living locally came to participate.
Under the direction of the lady living in one of the temporay houses, we managed to make a 4m-long Temaki-zushi!
This event was combined with some research works, and we took advantage of the meal to listen to the stories of the people living there. We will take this information back and it will help with the next event planned to be in summer. (Akagi)
Join us at the «Potato Hot Pot» Festival!
The «Potato Hot Pot» Festival was held in the event hall of Johoku in Aizu-Wakamatsu. The citizens assisted students with preparations for the celebration and the gathering was made possible by the collaboration of both parties.
Despite rainy weather, the event benefited from the presence of numerous visitors while the “Cosplay” and karaoke activities sustained a very joyful environment.
It is our sincere hope that these festivities were able to nurture a stronger sense of solidarity and community for the local guests.

Occassion to sponsor a festival
October 13th
After returning from their research excursion in August, the CR Aizu/Kitakata team held several meetings and, as a result, decided to foster projects in the temporary housing units of Johoku in the city of Aizu-Wakamatsu. They visited the temporary dwellings of Johoku again with several concrete action plans and gave a presentation to Mr. Ishikawa, the president of the residents’ association, and his colleagues. In the end, they agreed to organize a festival with the students there. (Miyahara)
