Cloth mask “For children if you don't use it” 15:55 on May 11th, when an Okayama company solicits donations
In order to use the cloth masks distributed by the government for children, we are collecting donations from people who are not used by companies in Okayama City and donating them to child care facilities.
There are some people who say that they will not use cloth masks, which the government has begun to distribute to all households nationwide, because they are smaller than commercially available disposable masks.
A design production company in Kita-ku, Okayama City started a campaign last month to donate cloth masks to children's nursing homes that don't have enough in order to help children if they don't use the size and don't use them. .
On the 11th, more than 200 masks sent so far were shipped, and sent to 15 orphanages in the prefecture.
For hygiene reasons, we accept donations only from unopened masks, and if the number of facilities in the prefecture is sufficient, we would like to consider donating them to facilities in Tokyo where the spread of infection is serious.
Yuki Uemura, president of the “Total Design Center,” who started the initiative, said, “Since it is a cloth mask that will be distributed all the time, we would like to continue working so that children in need can use it”.
