Japan: Congratulation( On winning the Ron Kovic Peace Award), I was so impressed.
Next Monday, I’ll show my students your video.
Before two years ago, actually, I had told students about Sept. 11 terrorist attacks in America, America attack in Afghanistan, and the war in Iraq.
I also tell children of this year’s class about it.
We have done fund raising for Pakistan in our school for a week.
But, some children said that I want to do more fund raising.
Therefore, in after school, we went to a supermarket near our school; we have done fund raising activities two days.
I send that Photos.
I hope that you feel the thoughts of my students for Pakistan.
Thank you Toshio Arao
