Talk at Tama Municipal Oomatsudai ES on Jan. 19, 2019
Yuuji Mizuno, the school headmaster of Tama City Municipal Oomatsudai Elementary School, invited us to give a talk. The school is located in the same city as our Association is.
There were two sessions; In session 1, Seiko Takase, the Representative Director, talked on the Peace Bell for all school boys and girls, their parents and teachers. She asked boys and girls if they wished to ring the Peace Bell. Most of them cheerfully raised their hands, which meant YES, and rang the Bell in order. The headmaster said that the sound of the Bell would remain in ther heart. In session 2, she talked in front of parents and local people. They asked many questions without hesitation, which she interpreted as a sign of high interest level in children’s education.
CASTING OF THE PEACE BELL
Casting of the Peace Bell to be presented to Republic of San Marino has started on 27th of April,2020.
The schedule of Peace Bell ceremony postponed because of Corona virus. The bell is carefully making by craftsmen with their hearts.
The bell is going towards completion.
The brochure “UN Peace Bell Guide” was adopted as an official tool by UN in January 2019.
In the past visits to UN Headquarters, we experienced that the UN Tour did not necessarily cover the Peace Bell. We mentioned that experience to Mr. Yasuhisa Kawamura, Deputy Ambassador, Permanent Mission of Japan to the United Nations. Mr. Kawamura proposed for the UN Department of Public Information to improve the situation, and our bilingual brochure, with some adjustments made in cooperation with Permanent Mission of Japan to the United Nations, was adopted as an official tool by UN. The news was covered in the NY Seikatsu Weeky, and was lso circulated by Kyodo News.
