The blessing now is that we live in a time when there is more awareness and we can speak out as Mr. Maeda calls us to do. I am hopefully we can get messages of solidarity to these children, their families, and the Korean resident communities in Japan. <br /><br />We also express our solidarity with Mr. Maeda.<br /><br />Jean DowneyTenThousandThingshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01364179920975074197noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35894930.post-66329078659339289872009-12-21T03:44:56.919-08:002009-12-21T03:44:56.919-08:00I'm relieved to know that many people in Tokyo...I'm relieved to know that many people in Tokyo and Kyoto are working <br />together<br />in response to that particular incident.<br />Prof. Akira Maeda's report of the meeting helps me to understand <br />what's going on<br />over there. The last part of his summary, "What we should do now," is <br />especially well spoken.<br />Thank you for keeping me posted.C.K.noreply@blogger.com
