In Their Own Words
| On her livelihood: | “I used to be a farmer, but my husband was struck by lightning about a year ago. He was riding his ox-cart back from our rice field, which is 8 km away from our house. It also killed our two oxen. Now we have the rice field but I cannot farm it because we have no animals to pull the equipment. Now I sell cakes and soft drinks outside the school to earn money.

| On the new building: | “I am happy with the concrete building donated by Mr. Nakamura, because it is easy for my children to study in. The school can also help improve my living condition in the future because my children will get knowledge and find good jobs.”
|
| Message for the donor: | “I am very thankful to the donor who gave us a new building and I hope my children will obtain knowledge and will have a bright and good future.”
