On December 12 (Saturday), NTT West Tokushima Branch Group took part as a co-sponsor company in the "Tokushima Downtown Flower Road Project" planting activity as part of the "Midori Ippai Project." The activity was hosted by the NPO "Shinmachi-gawa wo Mamoru Kai (Association to Preserve Shinmachi River)."
Despite falling on a non-working day, a total of about 300 people, including 51 from NTT West Tokushima Group and participants from NPOs, local neighborhood associations, co-sponsors and university student volunteers, showed up on the day of the event. The opening ceremony kicked off after the participants gathered at the Aibahama Park at 8:00a.m.
At the opening address, Mr. Nakamura, Chairman of NPO Shinmachi-gawa wo Mamoru Kai, expressed the goal to involve as many residents of the city as possible to offer a pleasant experience to tourists as well as residents of the city, and to transform Tokushima City into a city of flowers by 2020, the year of the Summer Olympic Games in Tokyo.
After the speech, staff from the NPO explained the way to plant the 12,000 pansies.
At the end of the opening ceremony, the participants were divided into seven groups, and each group was assigned to the flowerbeds and planting zones at one of the designated locations for planting the pansies, which extended from the front of Tokushima Station to Awaodori Kaikan, and from the front of Awagin Hall to the City Government Office.
The 51 participants from NTT West Tokushima Branch Group were assigned to plant pansies at 10 flowerbeds located on the Motomachi road divider.
After completing the activity, all NTT West Tokushima Branch Group participants of the "Midori Ippai Project" gathered at the meeting point (Aibahama Park) and took a commemorative photo at the end of the event.
We believe it was a great day for everyone who took part in the activity.
