Started in 1990, the Mitsubishi Asian Children’s Enikki Festa is a program that seeks to promote literacy education and to stimulate cultural exchange among children by allowing them to learn about each other through “enikki”(illustrated diaries).

I participated in a celebration where we buried consecrated stones under the assembly hall at a temple in Suphan Buri Province. I was grateful for the chance to participate.
We also got the chance to make merit by paying for roof tiles for the assembly hall. We put the tiles on a tray held by a statue of a goddess. When the tray got full, men lifted the statue up to the roof, emptied the tray, and then lowered the statue back down to the ground. It was like the goddess was coming down from heaven to receive our donations. It was really impressive.
