==Second place in Sendai(Japan)==
===Background===
Most students of Tohoku University are from other regions like Kanto(included Tokyo), Kansai(included Osaka). It cause low level of affection for the local community. Sendai, Tohoku university is in, is a middle city in Japan, but it often is called "rural". We wanna students love this area for 4 or 6 years.
Also, there are a lot of elderly people. They think that the older they become, the less interaction they have with younger people.
=== Challenge ===
We create a service of creating the connection between students and elderly people.
We will be running an initiative to match local older adults who need young people's help (e.g. shopping, someone to talk to, mowing the lawn, etc.) with college students who are interested in interacting with older adults.
College students will be offered an hourly wage, providing what the elderly are looking for.This service is available to elderly people who apply themselves, as well as families who have elderly relatives in the same position.
=== Target ===
Students who want to feel proud to be in Sendai
Students who are conscious of cooperation with the local community
Local elderly people and their families who want to interact with young people<br />
