Support from Paraguay in South America!! Charity sports event for Ishinomaki
Peace Boat has received support for its disaster relief operations from many countries around the world including: support from a volunteer team from Sri Lanka; a gift of tsunamika from South India; support from a group of Nigerians living in Japan; and help from countless numbers of international volunteers.
Today’s report is about another act of support, this time from Paraguay.
Paraguay is located in almost the center of the South American continent. It is surrounded by many large countries with Brazil to the East/Northeast, Bolivia to the West/Northwest and Argentina to the South/Southwest. There are no coastal borders and so Peace Boat’s ship is unfortunately unable to visit this inland nation. It takes 30 hours by plane from Japan and of course there are no direct flights.
