An impromptu interview with Homma Kancho
Homma Kancho, who has led Nippon Kan’s efforts to feed the homeless in Denver for the last 20 years, was honored by local, leading Colorado television station, Channel 7, as one of Denver’s Every Day Heroes for 2010. A Channel 7 news team paid Homma Kancho and volunteer staff a visit while they were preparing for our monthly Homeless Meal Service on August 15th to present him with the award and film an interview. Homma Sensei told the Channel 7 reporter, “This is quite a surprise, but it is not just my achievement. It is the achievement of all of the people who have helped serve these meals at the Denver Rescue Mission for the past 20 years.” The interview continued through the meal service at the mission and was aired daily the first week of September.
