The floodwaters have receded, but in the meantime the weeds have continued to grow, and from a distance, the entire field looks green. I was more worried about disease from the long rains than insect damage from the dryness, but so far it hasn't been too bad. Cotton balls are growing well, and if the end of the rainy season is crisp and clear, we should be able to harvest a good crop of cotton.

Let”s hope! beyond the minefields.
We are truly grateful for the support of so many of you. This is the fourth year for this project, which we have been promoting based on the hypothesis that "the world can be better by shopping," rather than by donating money or providing aid. As a project to put Marketing 3.0 into practice, we would like to continue to take on this challenge with vigor and enthusiasm. Next year, we will be selling apparel products, and we would like to ask for your continued support.

Still, I was amazed at the fertility of the land in the tropics and in the Mekong Basin. After receiving plenty of nutrients from the floods, and after being exposed to sunlight to the fullest, the land quickly turned into a blanket of green. The fact that I had weeded the area was rendered completely meaningless. I have come to think that it would be better to stop thinking in Japanese terms, and to think that everyone should get along and grow up together, so that stress does not build up. This is how Cambodian people must have acquired the Cambodian way of thinking. That is why, when I was pondering about a staff member who made a mistake at work, the person in question would comfort me by saying, "Don't worry. I think that's why when I am thinking about a staff member who has made a mistake at work, he or she comforts me by saying, "Don't worry. (Laughs). This kind of generosity may be a prescription for a society that prioritizes efficiency, something that Japanese people have forgotten (or perhaps, something that serious Japanese people have never had). Anyway, in the midst of the deluge, the cotton trees are trying to reach for the sky as if nothing had happened to them.
