Kenny helping out with the games

町の「ふれあい広場」で我が国際交流協会もブースをやっていました。次男のKenちゃんがゲームで手伝ってくれた。「手伝うのは好きだ」と言ってくれて、いい経験だなと思いました。そして、町興しでよく一緒になる車椅子を使っている知り合いが車椅子体験コーナーをやっていました。長男のAndy君がやってみました。それも、重要な経験だなと思いました。最後はミニSLも乗れて、楽しい、なおかついい経験の日でした。
Our town's 'Fureai Hiroba' (kind of a volunteer group fair) was held today, and our Int'l Exchange Assoc. had a booth. As vice-chairperson, I went to help out, and brought along our kids. Son Kenny enjoyed helping out with the games -- a good experience for him. An acquaintance of mine who is wheelchair-bound had a section where anyone could try using a wheelchair. Our eldest son, Andy, gave it a whirl -- another good experience. Towards the end, the boys rode the mini steam engine train. A fun day, with lots of good experiences!
