Project Report: Nagoya Tewo Tsunagu Ikuseikai

Project Overview:

Parent & child "Strawberry Picking" excursion for families with children with challenges .


Nagoya Tewo Tsunagu Ikuseikai hosted a strawberry picking excursion for families with children with disabilities who usually find it difficult to go out together.

Parents and children enjoyed strawberries together and took a relaxing walk outside the greenhouses. At lunch, everyone gathered in a private room for a feast of jumbo fried shrimp and enjoyed their meal without worrying about other guests.

Comments from Participants

"Usually, it's really difficult for our entire family to go out, just the parents alone. Moreover, my other children often have to sacrifice and be patient. I'm truly grateful and so happy that we could spend time together as a family today."

"I was able to interact with people in the same situation and was encouraged by everyone's efforts. It made me feel stronger."

This day offered a precious time spent together as a family, deepening the bond between siblings and fostering mutual encouragement. For families raising children with disabilities, it was a priceless day.


We hope that we can create more opportunities like this so that people with disabilities can participate in more activities without any reservations.
