This award was given to Ms Gracie 12/23/10.
The
Bi-Kouen Orphanage Home
The
Bi-Kouen Orphanage is home to more
than
65 children aged 6 months to 17 yrs old. Unlike U.S Orphanage,
Japanese government provides very little support. Most of the
funding and
logistics comes from donations. U.S. Naval Air Facility Misawa
Japan has
adopted Bi-Kouen Orphanage 20 yrs ago and has supported the
majority of the
logistic (maintenance, appliances, etc..). During major
holidays like
Easter, 4th of July, Thanksgiving, and Christmas, the entire
command attends
each
of the functions and brings gifts, food, friendship and much
needed love.
Ms Gracie's Quilting by the Creek donated about 50 quilts to
Bi-Kouen Orphanage
Home.
Each child received their own quilt to keep.
From what we understand, this type of award is
seldom given out by the Japanese People!
