The school bag that the children of Kagoshima City gave to the children of Afghanistan arrived in neighboring Pakistan last month, but in Afghanistan the armed forces Taliban have taken control of the power and the children's turmoil continues. There are voices worried about whether it will arrive.
Nishiishiki Elementary School in Kagoshima City has been donating school bags for sixth graders to Afghanistan every year since 17 years ago.
The 50 pieces presented in March this year, Kuraray, which produces artificial leather for school bags, arrived at the port of neighboring Pakistan in the middle of last month, along with about 7,800 school bags collected from all over the country.
However, after that, in Afghanistan, the armed forces Taliban seized power, and the children of Nishiishiki Elementary School who saw the news raised concerns about whether the children who gave the school bags would be delivered safely. It means that it is.
According to the person in charge of Kuraray who manages the school bag, it will be distributed at the local school according to the new semester, so we are continuing to make adjustments. I'm worried that the work I've been doing will go smoothly. I hope it will reach my child without any problems. "
