My name is Shio Harada. It is shiorin. In Power of Eight, I took care of you. In 2020, I will go to Ehama by seed planter. I think the first peace circle can be conveyed in various situations. For foreign travelers, for foreigners working in Japan, parent and child circles, circles for elementary school students, junior high school students, high school students and college students, I think that you can learn from each perspective. Ideas spring up and get excited. I look forward to seeing you next year.
