【2015年4月 活動報告】

Euglena GENKI Program celebrated its first anniversary in March 2015. In addition, the amount of support from sponsor companies has increased significantly this term, and it has become possible to distribute 4,000 meals this year from 2,500 meals a day last year. We would like to express our deepest gratitude once again.
To meet this expectation, we visited new NGOs and organizations this month and held many negotiations and meetings. In fiscal 2015, the number of cookies distributed will be about 4,000, and the scale of the GENKI program will be doubled. Including the shortfall last year, 4,400 servings will be distributed daily. This month, we focused on activities for this preparation.

These three organizations manage eight schools. The total number of students will be 2,345. In April, we prepared for the introduction of the GENKI program at these eight schools.
