We need more time. We would like to know if the time to complete the art project may be extended? And, when do you have to have all of the art work in Japan? We still want to participate, however, we will not be able to have the project in to you before the end of July. We will be able to have everything to you by the middle of August.

We were very glad to have Kumi come to our school to meet our students and
help us with the project. She was very enthusiastic and interested in our
school. We did hte workshop in the afternoon and everyoe who participated
had fun and really got into the joy of designing their frames. I think it is
a project best suited to younger children with close-knit families. Kumi
and I could not make up for the absense of so many parents
help. Unfortunately not all the molds were well prepared and the students
were tired since it is the end of the year. We are now taking steps to make
up for the lack and hope to continue to hear good things about Kumi's
thrilling international project. Although we had fun I think it is a
project best suited to younger children with close-knit families. Kumi and
I could not make up for the absense of so many parents help.
