I am delighted to receive this UNICEF Prize. We performed extended coverage of the completely blind woman swimmer for this program and I am extremely pleased that we succeeded in conveying her unfailing resolve to win, the kindness of her mother and father who support her, and above all the courage and feeling that we all felt during this coverage, to so many more people, including our audience. The program’s message was that you can do it even if you cannot see. I want to deliver that message to many people, and to the children who are doing their best even in diffi cult environments, diffi cult situations, and holding on to their belief in a better future. I want to celebrate this prize with our staff, with Ms.Chikako Ono, who has accepted our long coverage, and with her family. Thank you very much.
