Approximately 500 people

22 Uwajima City-registered NPO organizations exhibited to introduce their activities and sell items, and each group introduced their efforts.

The Children's Cafeteria Liaison Council sold out of its 200 bento meals, and the Motenas Kitchen Car was almost sold out as well. A group of taiko drumming groups performed in two parts, and the event was a lively one.

At the Uwajima Disaster Prevention Box, there was a fire engine display, a fire protection costume experience, and a smoke experience, which was crowded with families with small children.In the afternoon, we set up a seismic vehicle for an earthquake experience, and about 100 people participated. .

At the Garapon raffle, many people held a stamp rally and visited the raffle, and from 1:00 p.m., they were given unlimited 100 yen mandarin oranges. From 12:00, a rice ball was held near the center of the shopping street, and the area was overflowing with people for a while. At the center booth, we asked high school volunteers to run a troubleshooting booth, a disaster prevention catfish school corner, and a cafe corner. Many repeat high school volunteer volunteers took part.

We received many high evaluations from NPO organizations. We will ask participants about their future challenges and the names of organizations they would like to get involved with, and we are planning an NPO networking event in April. We had a taiko drum performance at the opening, which was a great way to start the ceremony. The vice mayor's speech also hinted at the hope that this would spur collaboration between citizens, the government, and NPOs in urban development.

I also want to participate in the NPO Festival. We want to get involved with other NPOs in the future, and it was great to be able to participate in an event where people could learn about our activities. There was also talk about starting an NPO. As it coincided with the Enma Festival, the shopping district was bustling with people for the first time in a while, attracting more customers than expected.
