April 2013 Monthly Report
‘Thank you for your donation in April.’
We appreciate your continuous support to ‘Naraha Iyashi-no-Mori : Sakamoto san Oentai’.
In April, we got various items directly from the supporters such as pasture grass, foods for rabbits and guinea pigs, in addition to the items sent via Amazon Wish List. Moreover, a support group gave us an offer to send dog foods. We are deeply grateful for those kind of support.

In April, we started to use Twitter. We tell you the situation of Iyashi-no-mori when we visit there, or hear from Mr. Sakamoto over the phone. We may ask you some emergency support by twitter message, if necessary. So please follow us ; @naraha184
Number of animals cared by Mr. Sakamoto at the moment:
Dogs 20, Cats 12, Birds about 400, Guinea pigs 7, Rabbits 9, Goats 2
Amazon Wish list updated for May
There are many items including animal foods, bottles of water and other requirements on the list.
- Foods
Taking account of the amount of stocks, foods for birds, dogs and cats are listed.
（→This cat is not Mr.Sakamoto's. He feeds the cats, previously kept by neighbors who were evacuated, or strayed hungrily.) - Water
For drinking. Mr Sakamoto draws water for domestic use from the mountain stream. - Dog Poles
We would like to change the poles to chain dogs to the stronger ones steadily.
5 poles were given to us in April, so the balance has been listed. Foods, care goods for animals and other various items are listed according to the situation. (Underwears for Mr. Sakamoto and flypaper is for the upcoming rainy season.) We will appreciate your kind support for May, too.
