それでも,  生は続く  

children@ishinomaki library! where young dreams soar!

Everyone remembers this…!

and this,!

maybe this as well!

so, we went to help them!and what we’ve seen is…!

this,!

this,!

and this!

we’ve seen people!still trying to live their life!

volunteering was tough!

we tried to do!whatever we could!

but it is!never!

enough!

even after coming back home!we couldn’t stop thinking about…!

what we can do!now and here!

we know our limit!

we cannot do everything!

still there are things we can do!

to help them!to sprout new seeds!for their hope!

sometimes we argue,!

let each other down,!

or are not even aware of each other!

but we’re just!ONE BIG FAMILY!

it’s time to join hands!

someday in the future!we’ll need their help, too!

to make a better future,!

show!your kindness!

to enable children’s dreams,!

and to see them smile again!

I believe children are our future!

let them study!where they should be!
