On June 17 this year, the Ai Foundation participated in the Family Picnic, organized by the Association of Lodz Hospice for the children under their care and their families for Mother’s Day, Children’s Day and Father’s Day. The event was held at the Centre Jedliczanka in Jedlicze near Grotniki.
Japanese costumes, calligraphy of the names and learning the basic phrases of politeness in Japanese met with great interest. All children received gifts from the Japanese imperial couple; additionally, the Foundation donated origami dolls, which we received as a gift from the Mom of Ms Eri Mizutani, from the house of culture in Kyoto.
