Genta Nakano, Japan

I visited two new schools and presented a soccer ball to the students from Indonesia which has been collected by children in Kobe, Japan. Kobe experienced an earthquake 12 years ago and 6434 people perished. So children in Kobe grew up in the process of reconstruction after the earthquake. Children in Kobe really know how hard it is to recover from such a disaster. By sending the football to the children of Indonesia they wanted to cheer them up. As soon as they received the ball they started to play with it immediately. I was very pleased when they were playing with it because it is the evidence that the message from Kobe to Indonesia arrived.
