Soyokaze and E-kids have a special reading hour for 2nd graders at Mangokuura Elementary School. The volunteers set up four reading stations at each corner of the gym and the 60 2nd graders ran from one to the other to experience all four. The student in the news story says “It’s my first time to listen to children’s books in English, so I’m very happy!” Everyone was happy!
