Saturday 8/25 and Sunday 8/26.
All days beside Friday 8/3, meet at Kitakami station at 7 am and get back around 6 or something. Split gas money.
If you want to go on dates other than those listed, keep in mind we can sign you up with Kamaishi or Rikuzentakata volunteer centers! All you need is a friend with a car (in Rikuzentaka`s case) or know how to take the train (Kamaishi).
Rikuzentakata Volunteer Center is off for Obon vacation 8/13 to 8/15. It has regular days off on Monday, Tuesday.
Kamaishi Volunteer Center--I can`t find where it says its days off are. It usually only takes volunteers Friday, Sat, Sun.
Anyway, if you want to volunteer another day, there are many options! Shoot me an email or see Foreign Volunteers Japan Facebook group for other opportunities.
