3 MONTHS UPDATE #5 -- BROOMBALL SPIRIT / FIGHTING SPIRIT IN JAPAN! Today we had a special group of visitors to Tomakomai. 100 elementary school students from Fukushima, Japan came to play broomball! Fukushima was one of the hardest hit areas during the 2011 earthquake and tsunami. Besides directly experiencing the terrible tragedy, many of the children lost family members and friends in the disaster. The Fukushima area has been rebuilding, but many people in the area are still coping with negative conditions (living in portable housing, and dealing with economic hardship, plus the on-going stress and uncertainty regarding the nuclear plant). So it was very special for us to be able to give the children a chance to discover and enjoy a new sport. The smiles and laughter were priceless.
