Feedback:
- We have a proverb, “Seeing is believing.” I only knew that an “A-bomb” was dropped on Hiroshima.” Through the training, however, I could gain the first-hand knowledge of A-bomb survivors’ lives who still suffer from the after-effects. Having visited The Peace Park, I felt that a thing like this will never happen again on Earth.
At the time of inspection of radiation-exposed people, I will be more careful about the results with meticulously viewing of the interview sheet data as well as considering their life customs. I will also utilize the knowledge I gained through the training for the consultation.
- I was filled with gratitude for our neighbor’s living in peace as well as ours. Though it was indirect, I could feel the suffering of A-bomb victims from the bottom of my heart. As a mother of two, I earnestly hope that such a disaster will never happen again.
From this training, I could know exactly what agony the Atomic bomb imposed on people, the extent of the damage and what help survivors needed. I also learned about the process of what support has been given them.
After going back home, I will tell people what kind of disaster nuclear weapons will bring on humans and the environment. Korea has nuclear power plants, too, and has the possibility to face disasters relating to radiation like Japan. I will help to prepare for the caring of radiation exposed (and assumed to be exposed) people and establish a medical care system to work effectively in the case of another disaster that possibly occurs.
