( Background info: There are three Leonard Cheshire care homes in Japan. In short they are known as Harima, Shiso and Hanshin. I am currently working in Harima, which is located about 30 minutes from Shiso and over an hour from Hanshin. )
From Tokyo all the Cheshire home volunteers flew to Osaka where we were picked up and driven to Hanshin Home. We stayed at Hanshin for the night before travelling to Harima the next day. At Harima we met Washio-San (My boss) and Maeda-san (our japanese teacher) who gave us a tour of the home. In the evening they threw us a welcome party and even gave us flowers! Even though I was a bit nervous it was great to finally meet all the staff and residents.
The photo above is of the flowers we were given at the welcome party and some Biscuits made at Harima that were left in our apartments for us :)
Is that a selfi stick beside the flowers!! How were the cookies?
