Challenge:
Because the number of participants is limited due to lack of staffs and field conditions, all members cannot join the programs at this point. It is also our challenge to make more satisfactory program for everyone, and to make flexible programs for all grads of elementary school students. The programs succeeded in terms of making a chance for children to touch nature. We would like to make more improved programs in the future.
