agree  Margarita Gonzalez: reunir, no sabemos cómo los convencían y congregar lleva implícito que los reunidos van por su voluntad. Recoger me parece extraño aplicado a personas.

  -> Puse recoger, en el sentido de pasar a buscarlos en autobús o algo así, es uno de los significados de collect. Gracias por tu comentario - teju
agree  fastwords: Los niños de Shiroyama corrían de casa a los refugios de bombas y trataban de concentrarse todos en el mismo sitio así es que creo que el término adecuado sería "recoger" . Es usual decir en castellano "paso a recogerte" así que estoy de acuerdo con Marga

Explanation:
Creo que este significado es más adecuado que reclutar, que tiene un sentido militar que en el texto no parece reflejarse.
