Four students from Aoyama senior high school, Beppu city, they have developed candies as a new kind of article for commercial (goods) with the cooperation from Kawagoe Takeharu, a company president of Higashizouen, Houmotsu shop. For nowadays, Languedoch which is a tasty strawberry cream has become popular with the created band called 'I love strawberry in Oita'. The designed packaging is put into a pink package as its pretty look, the promoting which will be held in Oita was written on the top of the map, with a young style expression from all students.

There are putting together by the program called 'challenging task enterprise program' from Oita-Beppu satellite job café which is an exchanging between high school student and the company business in the city. Last year, 4 young first year students named Misaki Momoko (16 years old), Miyazaki Soyoka (16 years old), Yanagikawa Reiya (16 years old), Miyoshi Seika (16 years old), they had made a proposal with Houmotsu shop about the new commercial products, spent time for a half year on investigation, and researching, until the company turned to them and allow to manufacture the product. 'Though we feel good when I have some creative ideas and express it, but we have to take a responsibility to our opinion in working. Then, we could make a precious thing from personal experience.' said by all students.

Comment: I wish I could do like them someday, have my own idea and offer some companies to buy it. It is good to make the children realize about value; both money, and life value. They are acknowledging themselves directly and I'm pretty sure that they will become really smart and effective adult in the future, and then their parents would be proud of them a lot. Actually, the local government and social organizations such as the company business also gives them a chance to learn by themselves, makes them come up with an interesting idea and dare to change.
