many years to come.
As we wait to hear about the approval of planting the trees on the campus, we placed the maple tree inside the art gallery area and the cherry blossom right outside of the cafeteria.
Today, during the morning recess, the students decorated the trees with messages indicating their wishes and prayers. Everyone started to work on it right away, and at the end of recess, we hung these messages to both trees and instantly they became a center of attention!
It was our last day at the school to work with the students to make cranes. We've reached our goal of making 1000 cranes!!!
Thank you all!!!!

We'd like to recognize our 4 year old friend, Luca (pictured with Japanese cherry blossom tree) as being the most dedicated kid in the community!
He has come to the school almost everyday with his mom, Akiko and has been so patient and well behaved during this time while his mom was busy instructing students with Origami cranes.
Thank you, Luca!
Here are the pictures of messages hung on the trees!
We truly wish for a fast recovery for the people of Otsuchi....
