４、柴田さん； 初参加。 ２歳の女児。 数ヶ月前、コアラの記事をタウン誌で見て気になっていた。 ネットで検索してみると楽しそうだので参加した。
誕生日カードを渡してお誕生日をお祝いしました。 りんかちゃん、おめでとう！

６、飯田さん； 初参加。 １０ヶ月の女児。 コアラの記事を川崎の新聞で見て、ホームページで調べた。 埼玉県で国際関係の仕事をしていたのでコアラの会に関心があった。
７、山田さん（中国）； ２年前のお花見イベントの時、友人に連れられて参加。 コアラは外国人にとってとても大切な場所です。 日本の文化、日本の子育てはコアラで学びました。 外国人が日本で生活していく為に役立ちます。 日本語教室とコアラの違いは何ですか？ コアラは子供と一緒に参加して子供の将来を考えながら活動します。 教室は大人同士の関係で外国人だけの付き合いになります。 コアラでは日本人の子育てを見る事が出来ます。 国際雰囲気がいいです。 国によって色々と違う所が見えるのもいいです。 子供にとって一番いいことを教えられると思います。

山田鈴華さん 若竹幼稚園入園 おめでとうございます。
すずかちゃんは恥かしがりやでおとなしい女の子かと思っていましたが、とても活発な子供でした。ママより元気でしたね。 よく周りを見て観察して、自分で考えていました。 将来どんな女性になるのかしら？ 日本と中国が仲良くなる様に助けてくださいね。
Media of the foreign countries were reported "Tokyo ruin" "Japan is in danger" due to a East Japan great earthquake on March 11. Parents in the foreign countries telephoned their children and said that return home soon before the radioactivity was polluted. Among Koala foreign members were panicking. Not only Chinese foreign students but also businessmen and married women with Japanese returned to China hastily. There is a person who changes to the airplane three times and returned home to China, too. It seems to have cost 300,000yen. I thought that Koala foreign members would not come today... Yamada san came to Koala after a long separation. "Haven't you returned to China?" I asked. "I believe that Japan is safe. Cheer up, Japan!" she replied. I was very glad to hear that. She brought her friend. Natty san from Thailand gave us Thai sweet. She also brought her friend to Koala. I was very glad to see all of you. Let's hug each other for our safe. I founded Koala 15 years ago. I hope that Koala is a comfortable place for foreigners and meet with Japanese friends. Mothers and children from 30 countries participated to Koala so far. A president of Koala is Etsuko Yonezawa. A vice president is Kinpo Fujiwara, chinese. Accountant is Fumiyo Segawa.
