TAKADA Yasunori, Operations staff of Sports Kokoro Project
Four years since this project started, I can see this project has been gradually gaining recognition among elementary schools and members of education board all over Japan. It seems to me the kids have a bright personality and beginning to express their dreams. But I must admit sometimes I feel the environment toward reconstruction is still long way to go. I hope I can offer the chance to bringing them a smiling face and time to think about their dreams as much as I can.
