In a situation where the changes in life caused by the COVIT-19 pandemic are still continuing, we have donated our picture book “You are the only one, but never a lonely one” to children in domestic welfare facilities in order to bring peace to their minds. Initially, we started this project with the donation to facilities in Tokyo. Finally, the picture books were sent to 441 facilities in 35 prefectures. We would like to thank everyone who supported the distribution of the picture books.
