Admin’s Note

The recent news about the flooding in Texas has reminded us of the threat posed by natural disasters. It is especially painful to see that many victims, including children, have been affected. This has made me realize that we need to maintain an awareness of the importance of being prepared for natural disasters. In the conversation between Chako and Log, the significance of preparedness is discussed, and I hope this serves as a lesson for many people. I also pray that such situations do not occur in the future.
