Many students were using the equipment for the first time, but with guidance from ASM employees, they worked together in a friendly atmosphere. As a result, dirt and black stains were removed, and all five buildings on the premises were thoroughly cleaned.<\/p>\n<p><span><div class=\"c-photo\">\n<ul class=\"c-photo-body c-photo-body--row3\">\n<li class=\"c-photo-item\">\n<p class=\"c-photo-item__img\">\n<a href=\"https:\/\/habitatjp.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/20260523-8.jpg\" class=\"lightbox\">\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/habitatjp.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/20260523-8-468x336.jpg\" alt=\"\">\n<\/a>\n<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li class=\"c-photo-item\">\n<p class=\"c-photo-item__img\">\n<a href=\"https:\/\/habitatjp.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/20260523-9.jpg\" class=\"lightbox\">\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/habitatjp.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/20260523-9-468x336.jpg\" alt=\"\">\n<\/a>\n<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li class=\"c-photo-item\">\n<p class=\"c-photo-item__img\">\n<a href=\"https:\/\/habitatjp.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/20260523-12.jpg\" class=\"lightbox\">\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/habitatjp.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/20260523-12-468x336.jpg\" alt=\"\">\n<\/a>\n<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The activity also provided a valuable opportunity for students to interact with company employees.
