I feel truly grateful to the children around the world, who face many issues in their own countries and yet think about Tohoku and write letters. I translate, hoping that children in Tohoku are encouraged by the letters and continue to walk toward the future with hope, together with their friends all over the world. ArisaMar 9, 2012
The heartfelt messages shared between the children of Tohoku around the world convinced me that regardless of the differences in countries, distance or languages, there are no borders for friendship demonstrated by human spirits.
