MIYAZAKI CITY- The IFMGP together with our friends went down to Marina Bayside for cleaning this sea side. It was a miracle that we able to gathered a number of 100 participants not including children. We were scheduled actually to gather at 2:00 pm but we attended first the Sunday service and it was ended very late so we moved it to 3:00 pm.
The weather in the morning wasn't fine and windy on that day. There was rain showers but we decided to pursue our cleaning plan whether it rain or shine. We adviced everyone to bring rain coat and gloves or tongs and plastic bags or even mask.
Members were excited and happy collecting pieces of plastic bags and leaves of trees or any kind of trash. It was pretty cold since it is sea side.
Children were more excited. And they love to run and run without doing nothing. 
We able to invite teachers from Miyakonojo High School and some government workers from the city hall. I think they were happy to our spirit in working for one purpose.
The Second Generation were present too. They participated headed by Mr. Tomoaki Kawano. Most of them are now in high school and some are in the universities.
Some had bring their whole family to participate. So it was really enjoying to see how happy were these people to join in this kind of volunteer job.
You can have a look to the garbage we collected. We put them all in plastic bags and had taken them to the city garbage recycling facility.
Everyone was so happy. I can't describe everyone's happiness. You can only see everyone's smile with their shining spirit.
Just snap shots after collecting garbages. We just took a posed for pictorial. Our souvenir for this activity.
This is somewhat exciting activity and I could vibrate that everyone were happy in doing this kind of volunteer job. I hope someday we could have another activity like this one.
Look at them, they were all second generation.
