A praise band of Hyogo Philadelphia held a gospel concert at a care facility to self-reliance for disabled in Inagawa-machi, Hyogo pref. on Friday afternoon, April 13. The concert is held regularly here and not only users but also every staffer were looking forward to the concert. It was about one hour concert where songs from “Yasuragi no uta” were mainly sung. It proceeded congenially. Most of them came to the platform at the part of harmony to sing. In the beginning attendants hardly came to the front to sing when we started visiting as singers at concerts. Now they come to sing with their pleasure. Staffers are very surprised to see such change in users.
