February Birthdays
Our dearest KNI students:
We had some
cold and stormy days last month.
But you all came cheerfully to
Kodomo no Ie and we were very happy.
You may have heard that a strong earthquake struck Haiti and many people died. Survivors are also waiting for food and medicine. So January offerings from you will be sent to Haiti in hope that many, many people will extend a helping hand to those in need.
Finally, we will be having our annual
setsubun celebration. Let's cleanse away various
evil spirits in us (fighting evil, messy evil, mean evil, crying evil etc.) and nurture good spirits.
We hope to hear your energetic chants of
"Oni wa soto! Fuku wa chi!" (Evils out, luck in!) again this year.
