Last Thursday, 31st March during the evening a significant Vigil took place organized by pupils of Fleming College aiming to show solidarity with our Japanese brothers' misfortune. Representatives of the “Asociación Peruana Japonesa of Trujillo”, pupils, parents and members of staff from this school were present in this simple ceremony which was impregnated with an atmosphere of brotherhood and deep thought.

It all started with a presentation from the students about the delicate situation that Japan is going through as a consequence of the natural disasters that have happened recently. Later, some testimonies of Peruvian residents in Japan and who were part of these events were read. Following these readings and as a sign of hope, all the people there lit candles, as a sign that the Fleming community wanted the light to return to Japan.

Mrs. Cecilia Kobashigawa, president of the Asociación Peruano Japonesa of Trujillo received all the hope messages written by Fleming pupils for Japanese children and Mr. Ramón Kobashigawa thanked the school and the students for their initiative and praised their solidarity telling them that all their messages would be sent to Japan.

The ceremony ended with the children shouting “Fuerza Japón” while throwing red and white balloons to the sky as a symbol of unity and brotherhood amongst the two countries..
