If you can lend your hand at that time, it will be much appreciated. If you become friends with the elderly and care workers beforehand, it will be even more helpful.

Ms. Kubota says:
I learned Shogi for the first time in the culture course held by the Suginami Government several years ago. After we finished the course, we formed a Shogi Club and enjoyed playing Shogi for sometime. Though the club died out in the course of time, I wanted to continue Shogi, So when I found an advertisement saying gvolunteer wantedh, I applied for it immediately. And now I enjoy playing Shogi with Mr. OOO. When I see him excited about our game, it brings out my fighting spirit. But I also enjoy communicating with him. He always wants to win!
(If you are interested in volunteer work, please contact the Day Care center for details.)
