My first visiting to COTS shelter

Last Thursday, we visited COTS shelter for homeless people. It was first time for me to go visit homeless shelter, so everything was unbelievable for me because all I saw and heard was beyond my imagine!!! First of all, we access into the shelter and looked around in it. It was my first surprising point since whole the floor was so neat and we all could see the bed enough to sleep well. Next, we go down to underground and looked around the living room. There were television, brief kitchen, refrigerator and many books and videos that they all residents can enjoy. All it was amazing for me. After that, we had opportunity to listen to a woman who works for COTS organization. The most surprising part I heard was the fact that there were several people who is working for somewhere  in the day time. And also she mentioned that some residents in the COTS shelter are hunting their job in the day. After I heard those lecture, I thought that Japan should have more intuitions that accept homeless person and support their independence. Anyway this trip gave me much opportunities to think over about social issues that should be argued by whole world.
