Hi Lynne,

The website is almost complete, isn't it? It is very clear and appealing, at the same time touching. The students have been doing a very good job!!

By the way, I met a wonderful song sung by Bette Midler, "From a Distance". The lyrics are very impressive. Here is a part of them.

From a distance
The world looks blue
And green
And the snowcapped mountains, white

From a distance
The oceans meet the stream
And the eagle takes to flight

From a distance
There is harmony
And it echoes through the land
It's the voice of hope
It's the voice of peace
It's the voice of every man

(to be continued .....)

I hope the world will be hopeful and peaceful for children .....

Good luck!!

Yuko
