Greetings,
Natural and social issues revolving around humanity, such as climate change due to global warming, ongoing wars and conflicts, distribution of resources and food, advancements and applications of IT technology, and control, are complex problems that cannot be easily solved. They have various impacts on us in different ways. However, amidst these macroscopic issues, we have strived for a better life as individuals and members of communities through education, professions, and other avenues.
Our foundation aims to contribute to the resolution of social issues in both countries through the support of Japanese language education, fostering smooth exchange and mutual understanding between Japanese language learners, Japanese individuals, and Japanese society.
Currently, specific ongoing activities include providing scholarships to Japanese language learners in Sri Lanka and the Philippines, supporting the educational environment, facilities, and materials for institutions responsible for Japanese education as partners on the ground. Additionally, to enhance the skills of local Japanese language teachers, we plan to conduct training by inviting them to Japan from October this year.
The scholarship recipients, 40 from each country, a total of 80 annually, will undergo 6 months of Japanese language learning (500 hours) and vocational education. Support will also be considered for Japanese language education in Timor-Leste based on their request.
Upon completion of their studies, if Japanese language learners wish to seek employment or further studies in Japan, we will provide assistance. Collaboration from various sectors is crucial for achieving this, and fostering such cooperation is also one of the foundation's objectives.
In the future, we plan to further explore exchanges in the fields of culture and the arts.
We appreciate your understanding and cooperation.
Thank you very much.
