Dear Pecha Kucha staff,
Thank you so much for featuring my presentation.
After presenting at pecha-kucha night in Tokyo, the foreign children
art contest was a success with 917 drawings turned in by kids all over Japan. :)
I also made a small 7min documentary about the theme of the presentation
using footage from this night, and luckily I got the "Challenge Award".
Thanks to you, I will be able to travel to Mongolia and Thailand to make a new documentary.

Wishing you all the best and see you on the next Pecha Kucha night!
