Life Connection at Lake Yamanaka with St.Joseph's children

We visited Salesforce who created Love Letter Flashcards which were then gifted to the children at St.Francis.

We had over 12 children (champions) and just as many adults join us at Lake Yamanaka to firstly take a bike ride around the lake with the children and then introduced them to the many skill sets at YouMeWe which the younger children have not seen since COVID.

The volunteers worked with the kids, rode bikes, ate ice cream and then after a BBQ we sat and talked to the kids about our careers to inspire them to have their own dreams.

YouMeWe Volunteer (Diplomats) comments:

" Thank you for letting me join. It was such a precious experience."

"It was a lot of fun"

"Thank you for letting us be a part of this"

After breakfast on Sunday, we headed to a mochi rice field for each child paired with an adult cut down the rice stalks which were hung for drying and this was followed by a bento lunch before heading home. Another great experience to see how challenging it is to get rice on the table.
