Support that makes it easy for students to participate based on the idea of President Hamana, who said, "This is an important opportunity for commitment (participation and contribution), which is one of the educational missions of our school, toward the end of the corona disaster as soon as possible." We organized the system and invited many students to participate through the president's name letter.
