Thank you for your prayer.

A meeting of the Research Committee for Building an Orphange in Japan has been over.

Specific budget plans for the building were discussed, and we have agreed on the sum of money for the building.
There are regulations for the orphanage building and there are several types of building. Today we have agreed on the direction in which we would take: we are going to build a type of building which accomodates about 13 to 19 children.

The floor space of the building is about 500 tsubo (1653 square meters). The price of the building is about hundred and sixty million yen. Including the decontamination and adjustment fees it would be about two hundred million yen.

We are looking for land in Koriyama city.
Assuming the land costs 2 hundred thousand yen per one tsubo it would cost about hundred million yen, assuming 4 hundred thousand yen per tsubo, it would cost about 2 hundred million yen. Altogether it would cost about 3 hundred to 4 hundred million yen.

Please pray.

If you have a burden, please give offerings. Offerings are to be made to Cornerstone Orphanage.

Below are conceptual drawings of the basic type of the orphanage building. They are subject to change according to the shape of the land, etc.
