On August 28, 2006, a special art appreciation gathering inviting physically challenged persons for the Glory of Persia exhibition was held at Tokyo Metropolitan Art Museum. The appreciation attracts about 570 visitors, including physically disabled people and attendants in good weather. Nippon Paper Group has been involved in the special art appreciation gathering for physically challenged persons, organized by Tokyo Metropolitan Art Museum. Volunteers from Nippon Paper Group companies have been involved since the previous year's exhibition on Works from the Pushkin Museum of Art. Among the eighteen volunteers for this year's exhibition, many were taking part for the first time. They worked hard at reception and near the elevators, while looking after the disabled visitors. One of the employees who took part as a volunteer commented, "It has been always a pleasure to see everybody enjoying themselves in a relaxed manner. I am happy to receive the thanks of the visitors with a smile, even if I felt a bit tired from doing something I was not used to." Another employee said,"Each of us worked based on our own ideas. It was an impressive volunteer activity. The venue was crowded. We had to take care of physically challenged people. We were often required to act on a case-by-case basis. However, the volunteers did their jobs efficiently. I realized that the participants from our group had a strong awareness" After the appreciation gathering, the staff of Tokyo Metropolitan Art Museum and volunteers from Able Art Japan, who served as guides for exhibits, expressed their gratitude. They said that the support at the reception and securing of traffic lines facilitated the operation of the gathering.   Volunteering at the reception   Guide in front of the elevator →Go back to Support for the Group's Employees in Participating in Community Activities
