In Their Own Words. .
| On the new building: | “I like this new school building because I have never had a new building like this in which to teach. The old building was only three rooms and wooden. We had classes three times a day so that we could teach all of the students. The new building has six rooms and so we teach only two classes a day, which is the standard.”
|
| On teaching: | “I became a teacher in 1997 because there was a real lack of teachers. I volunteered for 18 months without pay, and became a salaried teacher after that.”
|
| On school subjects: | “I like teaching mathematics because it was my favorite subject as a student. I want to share that with the students.”
|
| On the community: | “The school community is always taking care of this building. We also are planning a playground to keep the kids coming to school.”
|
| Message for donor: | “On behalf of the villagers here, I would like to thank The Nippon Foundation and the Social Fund very much for providing this new school building.” |
