4. BF Delegate Visit North East Japan
-First of all, visiting the Tsunami stricken area
along the Japanese east cost was really heart-
breaking. But I have learned what our y’s men
with YMCA had done for the recovery.
Many volunteer works from Y’s Men and YMCA
members and families – domestics as well as
worldwide. I saw the True Brotherhood. I also
realized they are still facing many difficulties to
recover their physical and mental health.
