True friendship is like a precious gem—rare and valuable. A real friend is someone who knows everything about you and still loves you. They are there for you during both good times and bad times. When you succeed, they celebrate with you. When you fail, they comfort you and help you try again.

The Bottle School Project is an amazing environmental initiative. These schools are built using plastic bottles filled with packed sand. This construction method is not only eco-friendly but also very practical. The bottle walls provide excellent insulation, keeping classrooms cool in hot weather and warm in cool weather.
This innovative idea helps solve two problems at once. First, it reduces plastic waste by reusing bottles that would otherwise pollute the environment. Second, it provides affordable school buildings for communities that need them. The bottles are free, and local people can help with the construction, making it a community project.
Students who attend these schools learn about environmental protection through their own school building. They see firsthand how recycling can create something useful and beautiful. This practical lesson in sustainability is just as important as their academic lessons.

In many Japanese schools, students participate in "soji," which means cleaning time. This daily routine involves students cleaning their classrooms, hallways, and even toilets. This practice has been part of Japanese education for many years.
The purpose of soji is not just to keep the school clean. It teaches students important values like responsibility, respect, and teamwork. When students clean their own school, they learn to appreciate their environment and take pride in their school. They also learn that everyone needs to contribute to keep their community clean and pleasant.
