Japan rebuilds elementary school

JAKARTA: The Japanese government handed over to Sukabumi
Regent Maman Sulaeman on Tuesday an elementary school building it
reconstructed through a grassroots grant aid.

An official at the Japanese Embassy in Indonesia, Shigekazu
Sato, said education was a basic human right that all children
should enjoy, as they were the future of a nation.

The Japanese government extended a total of US$69,752 in
assistance last January to rebuild the school, located in Cibodas
district, which was destroyed by strong winds. The grant was also
used to purchase school equipment. -- JP
