December 2024:
On December 8th, 2024, GLH held its annual seed picking event. First, we rallied around the Kuroganemochi (Kurogane Holly Tree) at Hiroshima Castle, we later went to the slightly lonely Kusunoki (Camphor Tree) on the southwest side of Municipal Motomachi apartment complex. This year too the gathering was well-attended by GLH Committee members, many friends, and even a few friendly tourists.
November 2024:
The Hiroshima Tonan Rotary, in a lovely project initiated by GLH's long-standing friend Kanameda sensei, has organized a painting contest among Hiroshima elementary, middle and high schools. More than 400 entries were submitted, and GLH and many other partners joined the Tonan Rotary members in selecting the final candidates in a session on November 25. The awardees will receive their prizes in a ceremony in February 2025.
