Africa: Challenges and Change Amidst Timeless Beauty
Please join the Harvard community in Japan for an event focusing on Africa! Our main speaker will be Shunichi Murata, Director, United Nations Development Programme Tokyo Office who will speak about his organization’s efforts in Africa.

ハムリンフィスチュラジャパン関係の私の最近の活動については、こちらのブログで、ご案内しております。最近は、ロータリークラブ様の卓話に何回か続けて呼んでいただいたりしております。今年は、ハムリンフィスチュラグループ50周年で、病院をフィーチャーした英語のDVD、Walk to Beautifulの日本語版製作のための資金集めや上映会設定が、現在の私の課題です。
DVD製作に、ご協力いただける方、お話をさせていただける場をご紹介いただける場合は、ぜひ、よろしくお願いします。
