Thank you all for coming to receive us. Your children were so happy to have
come home to be greeted with warm smiles.

Rest well and we look forward to seeing tomorrow. Please have your child
arrive at 10:30. It will be a light day with the teachers checking the
physical conditions of the students, reflecting on the trip, and looking at
photos. After that, we will have lunch and you will be dismissed at 1:30.
See you tomorrow.

I am closing these updates with a message of peace from Pope John Paul II,
in 1981.


War is the work of man.

War is destruction of human life.

War is death.

To remember the past is to commit oneself to the future.

To remember Hiroshima is to abhor nuclear war.

To remember Hiroshima is to commit oneself to peace.


10:30 a.m., 25 February 1981
