We are supporting four countries Benin, Uganda, Bangladesh and Burkina Faso. Every Wednesday we hold meeting. We study about these country and think what is necessary. The main activities are educational activities and fund-raising activities. 

‘Shimaecco’ is an environmental club. We go into the mountains and rivers or picking up trash. And we join a lot of local events for example regional festival, eco cooking and etc... I took part in the coast cleaning today! Sometimes we have a barbecue on the beach side. I really like to join it. 

‘Hamadian’ is issuing the public relations magazine in the region. The member thinks about a lot of interesting projects. I think it is very interesting activity but I cannot participate so much… I am very regrettable (><)

Soccer and Futsal

This time I'll introduce about my club activity.
I'm a member of the soccer club. Our team belongs Shimane prefecture second league. So we practice hard to up prefecture first league. Next game is last league game this season. It is last game for third grade students. So it's my last game. I'll do my best next game.
Futsal is just my hobby. But I play futsal for 9years. I play soccer for only 3years. Usually I play futsal my hometown. Many generation people participate every wednesday. Junior high school students, high school students, university students, society people, and poppa. Futsal is similar to soccer. Futsal court is narrow than soccer pitch. It can play only 5people one team. It's more speedy and technical than soccer. I think it is more interesting than soccer. I enjoyed futsal when I came back my hometown.

Club Activity...♡

My club activity is volunteer. The first club is student NPO body corporate. 

The second club is environment circle. I write here for more information about the environment circle. this club is Cleanup activities, participate in local festivals etc..

when we were finished cleaning the coast.
I'm the second from the left in the line  first♡

Cleanup activities are carried out once a month. I pick up trash around the university. there is a very rewarding. There are also activities to clean up the coast. There are a lot of trash fall on the beach. It is hard to pick up trash. But it is fun. I think a lot of trash that has fallen fireworks on the beach. There are many fine garbage. I think there is so very rewarding.

The local festival really participates. The man is carrying a portable shrine in festival. The woman is sounding whistle in festival. It is so much fun. Also, other festivals we help garbage separation. It is hard, but it is a good experience. It is an event that can get along with people in the community. I think I can be a valuable experience in this event.

Last year I did the eco-cooking. In order to reduce the garbage, we were talking with a team when cook. We made a curry and potato salad, it was delicious. I think it was probably eco. Circle event is fun.

Thank you for reading!

My Club Activity～

 Hello, everyone~ :-)
 It is getting colder day by day.

calligraphy

In this post, I would like to tell you about my club activity. I belong to the calligraphy club. I love calligraphy. I think one's heart is expressed by the handwriting. In Japan, It is virtue that’s write a good character. We say so important to write correctly thinking about others the feelings. If I write good character, I will be praised by people. Also, the thought will be conveyed to them. I think that it’s so glad thing. In this simple reason, I started calligraphy. From elementary school, there was a class to imitate textbook. Is it also in the USA? Is not important to write legibly in USA?

Kaiyusai

 A little, I would like to talk about the activities. The calligraphy club is doing on every Tuesdays. I'm practice on the model of textbooks. And I use mainly a pen. The semi cursive style is very difficult. At the beginning of October, there was a school festival at the University of Shimane. We set up a calligraphy experience corner. There were visited many people. Calligraphy is fun!

Many people handwriting are better than I am. I think that I want to be well. In recent years, IT technology is developing. We begin to use e-mail. So, handwriting got become fewer. PC is very useful indeed. But, I want to remember handwriting's true value. Umm… a letter, a character, handwriting, write...Which is the suitable? This word be expressed in English is difficult. :’-(

Thank you for reading my post till the end!

The two stuffed dolls

I belong to two clubs. I participate in Youth Ending Hunger club and the library committee. I’m going to talk about my club activities.

First I will introduce Youth Ending Hunger club activities. The club’s purpose is ending hunger through younger’s activities. We campaign to raise funds and enlighten other people. At our university festival, we explained the issue of hunger to the attendance. One of the displays is “Experience of holding two new born babies” -those two newborns are stuffed doll. If you hold the two babies, you will find the weight is very different. One is heavy, another is light. Because one was born in an advanced nation, the other was born in a developing nation. It's show that the baby and his(/her) mother is suffering from malnutrition in the nation. (Of course, it is not necessarily so.)

Second I will talk about the library committee activities. The most important activity is selecting some books along theme and making card to suggest the book for students once a month. The theme of next month is “Read more books!” So we chose reading easily books such as short story. I chose “Le Petit Prince” written by Saint-Exupery and made the card. If you see the picture and give me a bit of advice, I’m very happy!

Thank you.

In summer, we clean the beach, road, around the town and university once in a month. We pick up trash and litter. In the beach, there are so many trash cans, bottles, and wrack. We pick up all of them. After we clean the beach and road, I am tired but I feel happy and achievement. Because I can see beautiful sea!! I think it is important to keep beach clean.

YAMATO MUSEUM and MITARAI

Hello! Thank you for reading my blog. I’m from Hiroshima. When you hear the word ‘Hiroshima’ I think you may remember that Hiroshima is the first dropped atomic bomb city. If you visit to the prefecture certainly I feel you should visit the Atomic Bomb Memorial Dome to impress on yourself misery of war. But today I want to suggest to you unknown places to have to visit.

I want to suggest to you my hometown, Kure City(呉市) (in Hiroshima). I was born and raised in the city. There are a lot of have to visit places. I want to introduce two places. First is YAMATO museum. The museum is exhibited some Japanese battleships. I have been to there three times. If you interested in the place, please check this site!（→http://www.yamato-museum.com/en/）

The another place is MITARAI(御手洗). Normally ‘御手洗’ pronounce ‘おてあらい’ and it means lavatory in Japanese. But in this case we have to pronounce ‘みたらい’ and it means a name of place. Without regard to written in the same Kanji(Chinese character). I went to there in this summer vacation with my family. There is a row of houses along the street which were preserved form Edo period. If you go there you can see the old Japanese buildings. I felt there is beautiful and I want to go there again. I like my hometown.

About me

Hello!


I’m Yuka Hanada. My friends call me ‘Hana’, because Yuka is very popular name in Japan. ‘Hana’ means flower in Japanese. I like flower very much, so I like this nickname. So please call me Hana.

Today I’ll tell you about me.

I live in Shimane prefecture in 23 years. Shimane has beautiful nature, for example The Japanese Sea, Mt Sanbe and so on. I like Shimane’s great nature very much.


I have many hobbies, because I am curious.


Especially, I love flower arrangement. Japanese traditional flower arrangement is called ‘Ikebana' I learn flower arrangement since I enter the university. Please look the picture, this is my recently work. My master praised this one specially. I love flower arrangement very much. I want to be a master of flower arrangement some day.

Also I like a play on the stage, musical and movie. I perform a play on the stage, since I was 9 years old.
Recently I made a short film in my hometown.
The story is very mysterious. One day a mannequin, he is celled Notty, move and leave on a journey. I played a woman, she look for the mannequin.
It was my first experience to make a film. It was very hard and difficult, but very very pleasant memory. The film is completed next month. I’m looking forward the film.
