[45th] Sou Masaru Hanabusa, a food drive food was presented.

　October is the month of food loss reduction. At the Yokohama Sou Masaru Hanabusa Gakushuzakura Festival held on Sunday, October 23, a food drive was held mainly by Professor Akiko Suzuki's seminar students as part of the food drive held in Midori Ward. This autumn cherry blossom festival was a university festival limited to students and on-campus officials, but 169 food items were gathered.

　The following day, Monday, 24th, a presentation ceremony was held on campus to receive these foods to the ward office, and I attended. .
　After thanking me for providing food, President Koichi Kitamura gave a greeting and said, "It is said that it is a time of satiety, but I think that there are many people who die without eating tomorrow because there is no food to eat tomorrow It is important to think about it. "

　Finally, Hinano Yanagisawa, the student representative who gave a greeting, said, "There were many of us students who did not know about food drives, but I was surprised that so many foods gathered. It was really good. "And after graduation, young people standing in the field of early childhood education will surely convey the importance of food and the importance of the environment to the children who will bear the future. I felt it very reliable.

　The food provided this time will be donated to people and organizations in need of food in the ward through the Midori Ward Japan National Council of Social Welfare.

　I would like to express my deepest gratitude to all the students of Yokohama Sou Masaru Hanabusa, and to all the university staff, including President Kitamura and Professor Suzuki.
