On behalf of IYEO, We would like to extend our sincere appreciation for your kindness. Participating FHCP was such a great experience for all of us. We were very impressed the way everything went well without strict schedule plan. We really think we have a lot to learn from you to be more relaxed. To have a feeling of "Mai pen rai." We do wish that this fantastic experience will give children great influence for their future. We are very proud of being a part of FHCP 2005. We would like once again to say thank you not only for your hard work in order to make this project success, but also for your generosity and warm welcome for us. We have enjoyed every minutes of our stay in Thailand.

Please extend our thankfulness to all the staff members .

Best regards,
Tomoko Okawara, Secretary General of SI, Vice-president of IYEO
Atsuko Honda, Deputy Secretary General of IYEO
Masanobu Shiratori, Chief of IYEO
