GENKIプログラムのための新たな仲間の採用と来期の目標達成に向けて
【2016年3月の活動報告】
Introduction
Thank you to everyone for always supporting this program. This year, we have set a goal of distributing 1 million meals, an increase of 150% from the previous year, but thanks to the end of March, we were able to distribute about 1.04 million cookies.
In the next fiscal year, we plan to distribute about 6,000 meals a day and 1.5 million meals a year. Therefore, we are preparing to conclude a contract with a school that has about 1,000 students in April.
1. About blood test
It is finally possible to carry out this inspection. With the support of Grameen Communication (GCC), from April 17th, 100 children aged 8 and 9 will be tested for a total of 200 people. Children of each year Euglena one year and children who will eat them, and the tests will be conducted by gender, with a total of eight patterns. This inspection was scheduled to start in February this year, but we apologize for the delay in obtaining approval and the delay in starting in April.
2. School removal
The Mamunur Rashid SUROVI School, which runs the GENKI program, has been removed. Our school was built on government land without permission and was decided to be abolished due to its illegality. Children can transfer to another school and continue studying, but since the transfer destination is not a target school for the GENKI program, they can no longer eat cookies every day. Our school has about 300 students, and it is a pity that we are no longer eligible for this program. I would like to report that there is such a reality in slums. (Photos 1, 2, 3)

4. Preparation for expansion of GENKI program
The new school year in Bangladesh will start in January, but the GENKI program will start in April, so we will decide on a new school from this month. The target for April is to increase the number of target people by 1,000. Ahasaniya Mission School and Holy Heard School will newly participate in this program through procedures such as school visits, exchange meetings with parents, and training sessions for teachers.

6. Summary
From April, the GENKI program will enter its third term. Initially, we started with the distribution of 2,000 meals per day, but from this term we will be able to distribute about 6,000 meals per day. This is the result of the support of everyone who supports this program and the sponsor companies. thank you very much.
The goal is 500,000 to 1 million meals, and 1.5 million meals this year, but we would like to enhance not only the numbers but also the contents so that we can contribute in a way that better meets the needs of children. Thank you for your continued support.
