teach children about moral fiber in school. Not only members of
responsible committee but also other members of JCI Takamatsu

made 4 groups and each group sold different fishes. Competition ofsales provided motivation to them. They discuss and took action toincrease their sales .

published flyers to elementary schools in Takamatsu.

because some places are difficult to visit.
