On the 10th of every month, the\u00a0dining room at\u00a0Kodo Village turns into a workspace as we prepare to send out the latest\u00a0Monthly Japanese Newsletter “Kodo” to Kodo no Kai<\/span> (Japanese Friends of Kodo service) members. The 1st-year Kodo apprentices always do this task, and this year they are joined by the new “Community Development Course” trainees. The envelopes\u00a0are prepared by Kodo staff members and the apprentices insert the newsletter and\u00a0flyers, seal them, count them for each region, and carry them to the front door to be picked up\u00a0for shipping.<\/p>\n

\nThis month, we have sent out these 3 items. On the front page of the newsletter, you can see Kenta Nakagome leading a workshop during a “School Workshop Performance.” There are two other pamphlets: the Earth Celebration 2014 Programme and information about the guests for this year’s Shiroyama Concerts.<\/p>\n

“Who is that chatting instead of\u00a0working?”<\/p>\n

“Are you reading the articles instead of working?”<\/p>\n

“Do it quickly and neatly!”<\/p>\n

“Each newsletter will be delivered to someone\u00a0who supports us!”<\/p>\n

“If you work that slowly, we’ll\u00a0never be finished!”<\/p>\n

“Please observe how (the staff) Kiyoko, Naomi and Sachiko do it!”<\/p>\n

These are just some of the things you’ll hear us saying to them\u00a0every time.<\/p>\n

When the apprentices go to pick up a bundle of envelopes, they say “I will do\u00a0the Kyushu area!,” “I will do the\u00a0Kansai area!,” and so on.\u00a0I\u00a0am sure that they feel so happy to connect with their own local area through this task. It has been\u00a02 months since they came to Sado Island. They\u00a0must be thinking about their hometowns a lot these days. So we say to them, “If you finish each one\u00a0quickly and neatly, then you can take the time to\u00a0read\u00a0the name and the address on the envelope!”<\/p>\n

The 1st-year apprentices and 1st-year trainees will continue to work hard on the 10th of every month, sending our newsletters around Japan. Now you can picture them hard at work!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
