28.Izumi Fureai Seal Rally

　On November 20, I went to the Izumi Fureai Seal Rally again this year.
　This initiative has been implemented since FY2020 with the aim of promoting understanding of persons with disabilities and promoting social participation of persons with disabilities. It is an event where you can collect stickers around the disability welfare establishments in the city and get wonderful prizes on a first-come, first-served basis or lottery depending on the number of stickers collected.
　This year, we visited three offices and other facilities. "Hiear's Shinbashi" mainly uses personal computers to create homepages, design, edit videos, etc., and purchased figures of characters designed by those who work there. It is said that he designed ice cream as a motif inspired by apple candy, so I think it is a very attached character. "Working Honpo" manufactures and sells baked goods, and it was also familiar with "Izun Halloween", so I purchased it with other baked goods because it had a cocoa taste of Izun Sable. "Yokohama Riverside Izumi" has been engaged in businesses such as admission, short-term admission, and day service (elderly day care) as facilities for the disabled.
　There are 77 facilities in Izumi Ward, including welfare facilities for persons with disabilities, and 47 facilities participated in various forms of participation. I would like to thank all of you for your cooperation. We sincerely hope that this event will increase the understanding of the inhabitants of the ward for disabilities. The holding period is until December 6, so if you have not yet participated, please visit your local disability welfare office once by all means.
