BodhGaya: The educational organization "Anta ga Orana" visited the Lotus Free School and organized a series of creative and inspirational activities for the children. This organization works in both Japan and India with the objective of honing children's potential and building a bright future for them. The very name of the organization conveys the message: "You are needed."

This marked the organization's fourth visit; however, on this occasion, the organization's representative, Mr. Nishiyama, personally visited the school and provided direct guidance to the children. Three student volunteers accompanying him conducted a session aimed at fostering the children's creativity through "Origami" (the art of paper folding). Additionally, a sports session was organized for the children, during which they were taught various ball games using handmade balls and basketball hoops.

At the conclusion of the program, Mr. Nishiyama imparted lessons on moral education to the children. He delivered a message emphasizing the importance of expressing gratitude, cherishing one's dreams, and having faith in one's own capabilities.

Speaking on the occasion, Mr. Nishiyama stated that children possess boundless potential, and it is the responsibility of adults to believe in their dreams, encourage them, and provide every possible form of support. He remarked, "Setting goals in one's life is the key to growth. The smiles on these children's faces and their positivity even in the face of adversity are truly inspiring."

At the end of the event, the children and teachers expressed their gratitude to the organization and voiced their hope that such activities would continue in the future.
