Reviews
"However, he had made a great contribution—rescuing about 800 Russian children and bringing them back
home safely! And after that, he visited and comforted wounded people and helped people in need and he kept his
attitudes and manners in a humble way. In his later years, he remembered his time at Konko School, saying that “Time flies—however, I remember everything about my experiences at school as if it was right in front of me.” He wanted to live his life inspired by what he had learned at the school and he wanted to be useful toand help others."
