By Admin

April 14, 2014, in the evening, PNJK-IS team arrived at Kansai Airport, Osaka, Japan. In a few minutes, the bus owned by the Japan Foundation Japanese Language Institute, Kansai, came on schedule. Upon reaching the Institute, each was handed an envelope containing instructions as regards the schedule of classes, trip to Kyoto, the use of our IDs and meal time. The following day, we underwent orientation and self-introduction ceremony.  Hee-jeong Shin san was our emcee and took the liberty of introducing to us the composition of the staff in the Learning Section. Her English is flawless but of course Nihongo was used most of the time.  The Vice-Director of Japan Foundation Akihiko Murata San gave his welcome address. The word “lucky” was given emphasis in his message. Truly, we were lucky because not only was the weather very cooperative but the sakura flowers were still in full bloom.  You see along the avenue trees bearing sakura flowers of various colors.   The next was the tour of the center.

“FROM THE DESK OF THE PRESIDENT”
By Admin

We are all happy to see you back to your second home and we want to express our deepest thanks to Kazunari san and Yusuke san for bringing Otoosan in Davao City. Among the list of our benefactors, Otoosan is remarkably different. He is pure in heart, pure in mind and pure in action. I am proud and honored to be his adopted sister and that of Ayako san. Both have shared their blessings to the Nikkei Community without hesitation. All blessings came from them alone. Their biggest contribution not only to PNJK campus but to other parts of the City more specially the orphanage center is evident. Otoosan is not expecting any return because it is a gift or donation without any condition. His main goal is to motivate descendants to improve not only their standard of living but assist the Philippine Nikkei Jin Kai, Inc. We have grown, Otoosan, because of your initiative. You started the move, setting an example for all of us to follow, driving us to move forward and give our own share regardless how big or small the contribution is, whether monetary or services. While not all had answered your call for self-growth and extend assistance to our association I can say without contradiction that… Read More »
