In April 2015, we visited Nepal for purchasing.
For the first time, I also visited the village of Santos' relatives, ``Lee Sanku Village.''
Five adults, three teachers from the village and two of us, drove over an unpaved mountain road from Kathmandu in a small car that rattled around.
When I arrived at the school, I was very welcomed. I have donated a portion of my sales several times in the past. At this time, I delivered notebooks and children's books. Afterwards, we went to the classroom and observed the lesson. There were no schools in the area, and some children had to walk up to two hours a day on those steep mountain roads to get to school.
In the classroom, students were enthusiastically taking lessons.
I will never forget the sparkling eyes of the children as they learned.
On the way home, the rain caused landslides, making it difficult to just drive up from school.
Many people managed to push their cars up the mountain. Even if it rains a little, the ground becomes muddy and traffic is very difficult. Four days after returning from Nepal, a major earthquake occurred in Nepal.
Many houses have collapsed, as have traditional buildings that we had seen just before leaving Nepal.
Part of the school also collapsed, and there were many days when classes were not held.
After the earthquake, Santos launched the Sakura Gymnasium Project, and plans to build a gymnasium in Leesanku Village began.
Although we were unable to participate in the local relief efforts, we also donated a portion of our sales. It was a long road to completion, but it was completed at the end of 2021.
I got to see up close how Mr. Santos worked together with a variety of people to successfully complete his plan to build a gymnasium, which he had talked about when he met us.
The gymnasium allows events and sports to be held even in bad weather, which is very popular. We are also happy to be able to be involved in a small way.
