Tomoko celebrated her birthday at the ANT-Hiroshima office last Thursday. She was joined by Louise Marie from Rwanda, Nassrine Azimi and Masami Yamamoto. Tomoko also received a lot of messages by email and on Facebook from her friends and helpers around the world.
In response to the messages Tomoko said,
私の誕生日に多くの皆様からお祝いのメッセージをいただき、本当
にうれしく感激いたしました。広島に生まれヒロシマに育てられて 、今日まで働いてきました。還暦を迎え、またANT-Hiros himaも25周年を迎えた今、また心新たに、にっこり元気よく もう25年働きたいと思います。皆様どうぞよろしく♪ I was very happy and moved to receive so many messages of congratulations from everyone on my birthday. I was born and raised in Hiroshima and have worked here all my life. As we mark both my 60th birthday and the 25th anniversary of ANT-Hiroshima, with renewed spirits and cheerful smiles, I think we can look forward to another 25 years of energetic activity!
