Recognition For Mr.  Kazuhiko Sakai

Greeting From The Children of Intibuca.

Thank you so much for your wonderful visit and support for the children here in Intibuca. Your leadership of this project has brought much happiness to many people.  Thank you so much for your good work planting trees in Japan as well as your work in planting trees here in Intibuca.

I know that working with the children of Wakamatsu school, planning for the trip, collecting the soccer gear, shirts and pens was a great deal of work.  Yet those of us who volunteer know the joy and fulfillment we get from giving.  We understand the joy of seeing other happy with our gifts.

I say volunteers are on the right side of the bell curve on the side of altruism. I know I volunteer because I feel that I have  been given many gifts, a chance for an education that others have not received.  I have had many good relationships that others may not have had.  I feel that because I was given so much it now my turn to give to others.  Simply because it is the right thing to do.  I believe that most volunteers feel that way.  A true volunteer gives because there is something inside him or her that wants to get out that wants to give to others

For that reason I was very happy for your visit to Intibuca.  I hope that this is the beginning of a  wonderful friendship between the people of Intibuca and the people of Hokkaido.  I have built upon your ideas of friendship for the creation of the Japan Honduras Sports Friendship Society.  I would like to invite you to join with me in this project to develop student exchanges and cross cultural visits between Japan and Honduras, especially between Hokkaido, Sapporo and the people of Intibuca.

We held a concurso on Sunday and we were able to use the balls you donated as prizes for the children.  They loved getting these balls and were very happy.  I am hoping to set up a soccer donation program from Japan to Honduras.  I will communicate more about this next time.

Thank you again and I am including letters for all the people who were involved in helping us. It is our hope that you will continue to reach out to these wonderful children who are so in need. These indigenous children have a difficult future ahead of them. So that any help that can be given to them is wonderful.  Thank you so much.

Yours sincerely,

Dra. Carol Cross
