BBQ NEWS
We are expecting a large group for the BBQ on April 29. It should be a wonderful time! For your information, we have only 2 grills and will choose the order of cooking by lottery, so it may take a while before you can cook. Therefore, it’s best to bring so ready to eat picnic food as well. We will stop by the supermarket near Nishi Urawa Station so you can buy your food and drink there. If have have a grill which you can bring, it would be very helpful. Also, small coolers are useful. I’ll send the Golden Week & May schedule shortly, but here’s the plan:

Oxfam International
JAMBO donations in January go to Oxfam International.
Oxfam International is an international group of independent non-governmental organizations dedicated to fighting poverty and related injustice around the world. The Oxfams work together internationally to achieve greater impact by their collective efforts.
