In Their Own Words. . .
| On her livelihood: | “I sell cakes and soft drinks outside the school to earn money to support her children.”
|
| On her family: | “One of my sons is in second grade and I also have a daughter in first grade at the Yutaka Araki School.”
|
| On the new building: | “I am happy with the new school and hope that my children will study hard. The new school is very comfortable compared to the old school.”
|
| Message for Mr. Araki: | “Without the new school, my children would face many difficulties in their studies. I would like to express my deep thanks to Mr. Araki for building this new school for my children to study in. I hope that he recovers and has a long and happy life.” |
