On the 15th, a military invasion by Russia was taken up in a class at an elementary school in Nagaoka City, Niigata Prefecture, which has an exchange with a Ukrainian elementary school, and the children were concerned about the situation of the local people and sent a message praying for peace.
Last year, the 4th graders of Nagaoka Elementary School attached to Niigata University sent message cards and singing videos to the 4th graders of Zhytomyr, a city about 130 kilometers west of Kyiv, the capital of Ukraine, at the time of Christmas.
Then, on the 15th, the military invasion by Russia was taken up in a class of 4th grade, and everyone read an email from a Ukrainian woman who mediated the exchange.
It is written that sirens sound many times a day and that citizens are restricted from going out, and when you look at the picture of the collapsed school building, the children say that they are "disjoint". I was giving it.
And I made notes such as "Ukrainian children are hard and we are hard" and "Let's do our best together".
Based on this message, the children will start recording a video message on the 16th.
The girl child said, "I wish I could send a message to cheer up even a little. I think everyone is having a hard time, so I hope this war will end as soon as possible."
Kazuyuki Yamaguchi, the teacher who was in charge of the class, said, "I want children to think about what they can do for the other person, and to spread it to their homes and communities."
