Campaign Special Website: https://tasukeai.ja-kyosai.or.jp/ ■ 'Tasukeai Story' Episode 4 Overview ~ 'Mutual Aid' Passed Down to the Next Generation ~ This story is based on an episode that emerged in the wake of the Great Hanshin-Awaji Earthquake. On January 17, 1995, many people were affected by the Great Hanshin-Awaji Earthquake. Among them, children were left with significant anxiety and emotional wounds in their young hearts. What became a pillar of emotional support for these children was the 'mutual aid' delivered from all over the country in the form of relief supplies. In particular, many books were sent with the children in mind, as libraries had been damaged and they were unable to read. These books were used in volunteer-led reading sessions, helping to restore smiles and hope to the children. Based on what they learned and the help they received through these volunteer activities, what is the action that the protagonist and the children who were helped take? The small acts of 'mutual aid' born in the disaster-stricken area are eventually passed on to the next generation. 'Minami' and 'Haruka' search for 'mutual aid' across time and space. Please watch the fourth episode of the anime, which marks the conclusion of their journey.
