It seems that three members of Mukogawa Women’s University’s canoe club rescued someone while practicing on the river.

According to the linked article, the three students received Hyogo Prefecture’s “Nojigiku Award,” which honors acts of kindness close to home.

 The recipients were fourth-year student Yukiko Nishibun, 22, of Taisho Ward, Osaka City; third-year student Hanae Adachi, 20, of Nishinomiya; and second-year student Yasuka Abe, 20, of Amagasaki, Hyogo Prefecture.

On February 21, while three students from Mukogawa Women’s University’s canoe club were practicing, they heard someone shout, “Help!” Near the foot of Nanbu Bridge, Abe found an elderly woman trembling in water about one meter deep. Adachi entered the river and put a life vest on the woman, then, with Abe’s support, carried her on her back to the riverbank.

Nishibun asked construction workers on the riverbed for help, and together they pulled the woman up.

After receiving the certificate, Nishibun said, “I acted because I wanted to report it as quickly as possible.” Adachi said, “I’m glad we were able to act appropriately,” while Abe said, “I was relieved she was saved.”

The water temperature at the time was apparently 9 degrees Celsius. In those conditions, it’s truly impressive that the three Mukogawa Women’s University students each took on a role and worked together to carry out the rescue. I have nothing but respect for them.
