The school master, Mr. Ochiai welcomed all students and AIRA volunteers with the following word. "As you know, the world has been in a upheaval in the past several months. Please tell our students anything about your country and the rest of the world."
Soon after, students in charge at each class appeared and greeted those teachers, saying, "We have long waited for today's event. Through you we would like to study about things in the world". Then guided by them, university teachers moved to the respectively assigned room for a lectur.
