WOW Program "Authentic Shoe Shining" Workshop Held on July 4th
We were honored to have professional shoe shiner Makoto Akatsuka as our instructor. Under his guidance, students diligently polished their leather shoes.
In addition to learning shoe shining techniques, students gained an appreciation for taking care of their belongings and the importance of maintaining their appearance.
Some students even brought their parents' shoes to shine. We are sure their parents were delighted to receive beautifully polished shoes.

Here are some of the students' reflections:
- "My mother keeps saying it looks like new and admires it every day. Seeing her so happy made me feel really glad."
- "When I gave my father his polished leather shoes, he was very pleased. It was rewarding, and I plan to practice this at home too."
- "I think shoe shining is going to become a habit for me."
