Dear AKIO, it is a pleasure for me heard from you after some time of silence. Thank you for all you are doing for our association. this is some picture of a poor school in a small village. there is better school but it is good to notice that this kind of school still exist in some villages. so some poor villages have problem of class room and some poor pupils have problem of tools (copybook, pens..). So be sure that every thing you get can help someone here. I will try to join our ambassy or council in Tokyo and can tel you some idea i 'll get there. you also can call on them if you find the telephone number. you can ask after Mrs BONKOUNGOU ( i call here when i was in osaka but now i have't the telephon umber). Best wishes to you and your family. A. SOURA
