With an open heart,
let's go meet, face to face,
with others!
Let's try our best
Let's try our best
to inspire each other with courage!
The place where hearts come together
is where flowers
of deep friendship blossom.

---- DAILY ENCOURAGEMENT ----
"Let us tell our children: 'You must never forget! Never forget those who came before you, those who held high the torch of hope during the long, dark night and fell on the way. Never forget that previous generations have struggled on behalf of those who had suffered before them and also for the sake of you, their children, grandchildren and all those who will follow in the future.'
"Let us tell our children: 'What would make your predecessors happiest is for you to carry on their struggle, to fight for the happiness of future generations as they have and to care and work for those who are suffering. When you do this, you will come to understand why those before you were able to hold their heads high and live with pride despite being surrounded by cruelty and lies. You will come to understand why they never gave up on their dreams, no matter how often they were betrayed. You will begin to know why they stood tall and kept marching ahead, despite rocks being thrown and guns being aimed at them. It was all to provide you with a wonderful future!"
