Study Tour in Cambodia
UNESCO/Japan Funds-in-Trust for the Promotion of International Cooperation and Mutual Understanding
Mar. 26 to Apr. 5, 2009
Participant: Hanae Nishimura, 2nd year student of Denenchofu Futaba High School
After the general assembly, Hanae Nishimura, a youth member of Meguro UNESCO Association, made a presentation on the Cambodian study tour (organized by the National Federation of UNESCO Associations in Japan), in which she recently participated. Her presentation lasted for about 15 minutes and she talked earnestly about her experiences and her thoughts. She included witnessing the poverty in Cambodia and learning about the history of its tragic civil wars. She also mentioned the friendly interaction with the Cambodian students and children of Terakoya community learning centers.
Participants at the assembly listened to her presentation attentively and questions were asked enthusiastically afterwards.
We expect our youth members to continue to enjoy many activities.
