Participated in the "International Understanding Class" at Chigasaki Elementary School to learn about the Republic of Botswana!

　Tsuzuki Ward   and the Republic of Botswana have been interacting through children's paintings for ten years. As part of this, Ambassador Hoziréene Moraque of the Republic of Botswana visited Chigasaki Elementary School and conducted classes on the Republic of Botswana in the third grade of elementary school studenｔ (about 160 students).
　The children listened enthusiastically to Ambassador Morake's story and cheered on the powerful animal videos. In addition, I actively participated in interactive classes with Secretary Julia Regwila, and enjoyed and deepened my knowledge.
　I also learned a lot about the Republic of Botswana for the first time, and it was a great study. After the class, they also introduced Botswana dishes, which was a valuable opportunity to experience Botswana's food culture.
　From now on, the children of Chigasaki Elementary School will draw pictures of their lives in Japan. The picture will be sent to the children of Ben Tema Elementary School in Botswana, where children's paintings will be held in both countries.
　I'm looking forward to seeing what kind of picture it will be.

　Mayor of Tsuzuki Kenichi Sasada
