About a year after Sadako’s death, the fundraising was going well.
In October it was decided to erect the statue in Peace Memorial Park.
Now it was definite −the statue would be built.
Once there was nothing left to do but wait for completion, the Hiroshima Society of School Children for Building World Peace began to consider what their next activity might be.
