This
shelter is in an elementary school building.
The
ground floor was damaged by the tsunami, so lessons are conducted in the
buildings of another school. Everyone is living in the classrooms on the first
and second floors.
On the
day of the disaster, people took refuge in the gym, and sealed the doors in
order to escape. The next morning, rubble was piled high in the playground, and
there were corpses too. I heard they warned the children not to leave the gym.

Volunteers for the hand massage joined us. They kindly
brought
dango sweets and fruit juices
along to the Jonet Salon.

Because the flow of water is pretty weak,
buckets are placed in front of each cubicle.
