In evacuation centers and temporary housing, not only the living environment but also human relationships start anew.There are only a few social workers in the common room in the temporary housing.I think that students can play an active role as volunteers by joining the rotation.

The tombstone cleaning brushes and gardening brushes I brought were useful.The family members at the work site thanked us, and many participants, including those from other groups, commented, "I'm glad you were pleased" and "I'd like to participate again."At the same time, since the disaster area was extensive, many volunteers were still needed, and many participants were still distressed by the difficult situation two and a half months after the disaster.
