Pretty Girls      We are six grade students. We are very bright and vivid. In the picture, from left Megu, Aya, Mika and Yuka!! We like talking a lot! Aya and Megu do funny and Mika and yuka always laugh and laugh! Crocodile Park      In fact, this park’s name is different. But we call crocodile park because there is crocodile. This is made of wood. We ride on it.     This park is very near from our school. So we go to this park soon after coming back from school. We play touch around crocodile. Crocodile park is very nice place. (Yuka) Tarzan      This is called tarzan. This is in tarzan park that is near our school. We play riding on black part. There are only two in this park so they are very popular. We also often play it. We play tarzan in other ways, too, for example riding and slipping and compete who can reach distance. Sometimes we score. It is very, very enjoyable place. (Mika) Jangle gim      Jangle gim is in our school. We clamb like a ladder or stand up on top. Standing on top is very dangerous, so I cannot do!! We also talk on it and playing touch. And in fine day, clambing jangle gim is very comfortable.  (Aya) Animal’s house      Five rabbits and one hen live in this house. Rabbits like vegitable very much. When we give vegitables to rabbits hen eat it. Actually,we give other food for hen but he love to eat so he eat both. Rabbits also love to eat so they eat food for hen. They are very cute, especially when we give food they ride our knees. (Megu) Dear Students, Guardians and Teachers of Koganei Maehara Elementary School, We at VFJ/ALIESC have embarked upon a rather ambitious second-phase project this fall involving schools from Russian Far East and China's Inner Mongolia in addition to the United States, Japan and Nepal which have schools already participating in on-going programs, We would like you to know that this is the beginning of our plan of building a network that covers the entire Asia-Pacific region with an aim to bringing the children and youth of all countries of this region into direct and interactive contact at our web site called "Bridges Among Cultures." The primary purpose of all this is to provide the participants with an ever-expanding possibility of getting to know each other in an intimate and personal way using the best of the IT technologies, including satellite communication service for remote communities so that together they can share the rich diversity of Asia-Pacific national and regional cultures as their common heritage. Perhaps the most important among the various advantages of this program lies in the fact that such an interactive exchange started in early ages is bound to give birth to new types of lifelong friendship as a personal learning process bound to continue for one's  lifetime. First begining with digital and graphic participation, the children and youth of Asia-Pacific region will, as they become young adults, find ways and means of visiting each other’s countries, on business or ecotours perhaps, to meet each other and confirm their long-standing “digital” friendship for real. What else will be more effective in nurturing a lasting international understanding and a new spirit of cooperation based upon mutual trust among the youth during the first decades of the 21st century?
