Projects

The project is restoring the rural environment and improving the livelihoods of coconut farmers by converting them to agroforestry.The project aims to support the rehabilitation of the local rural environment and economy in the northern part of the Philippine island of Leyte, which was devastated by Typhoon Haiyan.Conducted a socio-economic survey and crop and farmland suitability survey of more than 200 coconut farm households in Albuera City, and provided training to 143 of the 260 participating farm households in organic farming, timber and fruit tree planting, and vegetable cultivation.The project also provides farmers with vegetable seeds, banana and other fruit tree and timber tree seedlings, and technical advice on farmland management.

　In 2017, a total of 8,500 seedlings (including high-value timber trees, fruit trees and bamboo, root and vegetable seeds) were planted.We also support local community organizations to market their harvests, and have taken over the project by the governmental organization “Women’s Action Against Climate Change and Hunger” to lead future production and marketing. Starting in 2019, the project will be introduced in the rural areas around Tanawan City in northeastern Leyte, with an annual planting of 3,000 saplings.The project has also been selected by the Global Environment Fund, Toyota Motor Corporation’s Environmental Grant Program and Mitsui & Co.

I teach Japanese to foreigners.We offer private lessons at any place and time.We have many students, from company employees, housewives, international students, and other foreign residents in Japan to short-term visitors, as well as many volunteer staff members.In addition to Nagoya and Aichi Prefecture, we have many students and staff members from Tokyo and overseas.We are looking for volunteer staff and Japanese language teachers who can teach.

　In addition to language education, we offer a variety of programs to promote international exchange and cross-cultural understanding.The “Overseas Culture and Environment Seminar” (supported by the City of Nagoya) provides an opportunity for foreign lecturers to present their opinions on the culture and environment of their countries and for participants to discuss cross-cultural understanding.

　The seminar, conducted entirely in English, aims not only to provide participants with a direct understanding of the issues through real voices from overseas, but also to improve their English conversation skills through discussions among participants in English.The seminar aims to encourage participants to think together about multicultural conviviality in Japan and the international community through environmental issues, and is attended by many people every year.
