I saw the TV program(PokaPokaChikyuKazoku) on Saturday.
and I found new thing about Mr.Harada.
Although he always told me "I'm 38 years old and I have no wife",(Of course,I had known it's a lie) his real age is 63 years old, and he has a wife(name;Marie) They are a nice couple.
Mr.Harada had been teaching at an elementary school in Hiratsuka Kanagawa
But formerly,he had been teaching at Japanese school in Beirut.
After that, civil war went worse,so he moved to Kuwait.
The last place where he was teaching in a foregh country is Holland.
All in all,there are 4 places where he taught,Beirut,Kuwait,Holland,and Japan.
Why he applied for foreigh japanese school is that he had been done volunteer( the Red Cross), so he wanted to make the most of international understanding which he had. When he was teaching in Hiratsuka,he also open japanese class for foreigh children who live in Japan.I also met them,talked with them.Impressive child is fromBolivia.
In 2004,he moved to シキホール island in the Philippine.
He owns the island for 5 million yen and he opended cottage.
He says,"hildren in thePhilippine are so cute and their eyes are shining.
But they are poor so that they can't go high school.
10 % of Money he earns by running cottage contribute to children.
Their school was no bathroom so I worked on the problem,and their school could be equipped with bathroom at last.I also painted wall of their school."
I had thought,"Someday I want to become a teacher like him!"
But after I watched the TV proglam,I thougut that I couldn't imitate him,and I couldn't become a teacher like him........
But I never never give up my dream so far.
Now he came back to Japan so I want to send him an e-mail and want to hear about his cottage and island and I want to talk about my dream.....
