Oita Godo Newspaper (morning edition on June 7, 2008)

     The people in the obstacle and some volunteers have deepened a communication during the trip. “The sunflower travelling” first held on 7^th, by the bus driven around the sight seeing tourism areas around the city.

     According to the sponsor of “Oita Sunflower Organizing Executive Committee” this year counted as the 24^th that has been participated in this activity every year (46 years old) said,

     “To go over there is the first time for me, Hotaru looks very fun activity” the committee meetings member’s Ms. Machiko also said at last “I want to brainstorm a good project for this activity”

Comment:   It’s good to hear that many people take a part as cooperation and there are also many volunteers to help many obstacle people. Japan always has an idea to stimulate there people to set up the city to be better and I hope it could happen to my country, Thailand, someday. Though in my country is lack of the group of people who will stimulate others to be more alert in development or better something, I think it should begin at the policy of the government to make it more interesting and seems more fun to be participate in those activities like Japan has done for their people.
