AINOWA will make ever-greater efforts to reach out to help more people.
On August 22, 1980, 17 years after the Duskin’s foundation, Seiichi Suzuki passed away.
Duskin employees needed a common goal in order to go forward by inheriting the uniquemanagement philosophy, Prayerful Management and his belief of “Help People Grow” and“Lavish Affection on People.” Making ever-greater efforts to reach out
to help more people is the unifying goal.
In 1981, Mister Donut celebrated its 10th anniversary and set up
Mister Donut Study Abroad Leaders Program for the Disabledin order to reciprocate the community’s patronage of our Mister Donut shops.
This program was to express our support for active and equal participation of the disabled which was thetheme of the United Nations’ International Year of the Disabled.
This program was well received around the country and the Duskin AINOWA Foundation, one of Duskin’s
Corporate Social Responsibility efforts, was establishedin order to continue the program in the long term. In February 2012, the Foundation made a new start
as a public interest incorporated foundation after receiving authorization from the Cabinet Office.
“May I help you?” What we can do may not be much, but we want to be of service to someone,
no matter how small that service is. We want to extend a helping hand to someone
who is in need in our community.

Duskin Study Abroad Leaders
Program for the Disabled

Toward a world where no one is left behind
I am honored to be appointed as Chairman of the Duskin AINOWA Foundation. Over the 42
years since its establishment, many people have supported the Foundation, and I will continue to
run the foundation and hand it down to the next generation while valuing everyone's thoughts andwishes.
In the spirit of “May I Help You?” as advocated by Duskin Founder Seiichi Suzuki, the Duskin
AINOWA Foundation was established in 1981, which the United Nations (UN) proclaimed as the
UN International Year of the Disabled. Since then, it has been pursuing its goal to achieve
independent living for the disabled and their full participation in society.
Our main projects are twofold: the Duskin Study Abroad Leaders Program for the Disabled, inwhich trainees from Japan learn about the initiatives of welfare programs for people withdsabilities in other developed countries, and the Duskin Leadership Training Program in Japan inwhich young people with disabilities in the Asia-Pacific region are trained in Japan to learn about
welfare for people with disabilities, and the trainees who have completed the training are active intheir respective fields.
Japanese trainees who had to suspend their departure from Japan due to the spread of COVID-19
are now gradually going overseas in order to study and receive stimulation in their new lives.
On the other hand, the trainees from Asia were finally able to come to Japan, moving from online
communication to face-to-face learning with other trainees, and they completed the entire
curriculum and returned to their respective countries. The attitude of the trainees always taking onchallenges no matter what situation they are in teaches us the importance of a never-give-up
spirit.
We are deeply thankful that the activities of our foundation are made possible through thegenerous donations and contributions from many of you, the membership fees that you provide,and the support of affiliated organizations that accept trainees.
As a public foundation, we are committed to fulfilling our social responsibility and will continue
to work to gain a broader understanding of the activities of AINOWA.
The Duskin AINOWA Foundation aims to create a world where no one is left behind.
We sincerely ask for your continued support for our activities.

Since its inception 42 years ago, this program has sent 528 trainees to 17 countries.
We dispatched two individual trainees from the 42nd-year,
as well as three individual trainees from the 40th-year
who had been on standby due to the spread of COVID-19.

Coinciding with the United Nations declaration of 1981 to be the International Year of the
Disabled, the Duskin AINOWA Foundation launched the Duskin Study Abroad Leaders Program
for the Disabled with the aim to achieve equality for disabled persons and their total
participation in society. This overseas training program makes it possible for Japanese young
people with disabilities who seek to be community leaders to study abroad and is now
well-known in Japan and around the world.

Duskin Study Abroad Leaders Program for the Disabled

Inclusive education created by everyone
We were trained at Egmont Højskolen where both non-disabled and people withdisabilities live and study together. At Egmont, students with disabilities
interview and select students to be their helpers and to provide daily assistance.
Before the training, I thought that most of the students studying as helpers at
Egmont would have an interest in medicine and welfare. However, many people
actually had never interacted with people with disabilities, and many of thestudents with disabilities had little interaction with their peers without diabilities
before Egmont. I was very surprised at first because I thought that Denmark, as acountry with advanced welfare systems, was a leader in inclusive education. At
Egmont, people have diverse values. Everyone shares ideas and finds solutions,regardless of the difficulties. Not just the teachers, but the students too are
unified in making classes enjoyable for students with disabilities. That is what I
learned at Egmont.

I want to promote DeafSpace design to many people.
The purpose of training at Frontrunners in Denmark is to learn methods forpromoting DeafSpace design (space design for the deaf), as well as tophotograph and conduct interviews regarding DeafSpace design in Nordic andother European countries. During the training, I learned about deaf lens, which isa method of photographing signers from a deaf person's point of view, andduring my personal project, which was similar to an internship, I interviewed andphotographed at Gallaudet University in the United States, where DeafSpace
design was conceived. After training, photography and interviews in eight
European countries were conducted as planned. Going forward, I would like tocontribute to making deaf people's lives more comfortable by creating a websitethat can be used as a reference when deaf people around the world want to create
a new DeafSpace design or want to incorporate DeafSpace design into theircurrent space.

I have climbed to the summit,
now I must make the mountain bigger.
The axis of my training was activities with the wheelchair softball team andwheelchair basketball team at LWSRA. During the internship, I supported Jake
Williams, who achieved two consecutive Paralympic victories as a representativeof the U.S.A. in wheelchair basketball. Jake also undertakes rehabilitation
training for people with disabilities and practices for junior teams, and I also
contributed to designing training programs. In addition, through my activities asa wheelchair softball and basketball player, I learned that the American approach
to wheelchair sports fundamentally differs from that in Japan. I also strongly feltthat I want to deliver the opportunity to do sports to more people in Japan. I
reached the top of the Wheelchair Softball World Series during my training, but I
don’t believe this in itself has value yet. I believe this value will increase when it
becomes a bigger sport that more people can enjoy.

340th-year Individual Trainee

Sayuri Takagi(Physically-impaired)
Site of Training: Denmark

Duration of Training: January 13 to December 20, 2023 (planned)

Training Theme: How disabilities are perceived and the
independence of disabled people in Denmark

40th-year Individual Trainee

Megumi Fukushima(Auditorily-impaired)

Sign language should become commonplacein Japanese entertainment! Aiming to be a pioneer.
The number of stage productions and dramas that incorporate the deaf andsign language is increasing and attracting more attention in Japan. On theother hand, there are few opportunities for deaf actors to play the roles ofdeaf people because actors without hearing disabilities play the roles of deaf
people. In search of hints for their active participation, I have been trainedin France, where the performing arts activities of the deaf are common.
France is a society of immigrants and has a wide variety of people ofdifferent races and languages. For this reason, there is no resistance towards
deaf people or sign language, and an environment where deaf people canthrive has been established. What surprised me the most is that children
have many opportunities to learn acting through sign language. The theater
workshops sponsored by the Deaf Association, and the theater lessons given
at schools are taught by active deaf actors. The instructors for makeup,
lighting, props, public relations, etc. are also all deaf. For children, thepresence of active deaf role models allows them to have the dream that"deaf people can succeed in theater!"
From November, lectures will start at École de Théâtre Universelle where I
can learn acting from deaf actors.
Although I have a lot to learn in France, I will continue to improve myacting skills as an actor myself while seeking to build a place for deaf actors
to participate in Japan.

42nd-year Individual Trainee

40th-year Individual Trainee

Leo Onuki(Physically-impaired)
Site of Training: U.S.A.

Duration of Training: June 5 to October 25, 2022

Training Theme: Wheelchair sports and softball coachingsystems in the U.S.A.

Since January 2023, I've been studying film and drama at a community
college in Los Angeles, while attending online classes for Audio
Description Training Retreats. Through this, I have come to see theadvantages and disadvantages of Japanese and American audio guidance.
Take movies as an example. The U.S.A. has by far the largest number of
productions with audio guidance, but there are also many problems withrental listening equipment at movie theaters, making some theaters
inaccessible. In Japan, only about 10% of movies have audio guidance.
However, in addition to being able to listen to audio guidance that isavailable through the visitors’ smartphone, they are freely available outsideof movie theaters as they are played in sync with the movie sound.
After returning to Japan, I would like to hold a screening of films with anaudio guidance at the university I attend, and I have informed a film
company of my intentions for the project and am making preparations
behind the scenes. As a new goal, I would like to create a digital archivethat will allow easy access to information on films with audio guidance andsubtitles for the hearing impaired, as well as disc sales and distribution
information for past films. Eventually, I would like to link animation withaudio guidance to a database such as Japan's Anime Taizen. I will continue
my activities and research to make my dream come true.

42nd-year Individual Trainee

Kaito Suzuki(Visually-impaired)
Site of Training: U.S.A.

Duration of Training: January 29 to August 31, 2023

Training Theme: Research the current state of barrier-free movie

the forefront of movie culture, and compare
the findings with Japan.

Training Program in Japan

International invitation program fortrainees from the Asia-Pacific reaches its 24th year
since inception in 1999.

Under this human resource development program, disabled youth from the Asia-Pacific region are invited to Japan to learn
about social welfare for disabled persons at institutions and facilities across the country, after which they return to their homecountries to play an active role as leaders.

Age: 26
Home country: Myanmar
Goes by Wai
Wai works as an assistant teacher at a school for the deaf, and she
felt that Burmese sign language has a limited vocabulary compared
to Burmese language. She will expand sign language vocabulary andcompile it into a book. She will teach sign language to deaf children
with the sign language teaching methods she learned in Japan. Wai
is considering learning the methods for adult deaf people to learn
Burmese and applying them to sign language. Like the fun time she
spent with her deaf friends in Japan while sightseeing, she aims tocreate an environment where the deaf can share enjoyable moments
through sign language in her home country.

After that, they worked hard in their training, and on December 16, they completed their training with a presentation oftraining achievements and a completion ceremony.

The deaf community in Sri Lanka still faces many barriers incommunication, employment, rights, higher education, and living
environment. Kavinda feels that there is a need to create a place for
elderly deaf people and a facility that can provide care and assistancefor the lives of people with multiple disabilities (intellectual andhearing). After returning to Sri Lanka, he would like to expand
employment opportunities for people with hearing disabilities
through a cafe named You with Deaf Us.

After the training in which I had theopportunity to enjoy challenges, I went to auniversity and established an organization topromote activities to improve the educational
environment for the visually impaired. My
desire to create a society where people withweaker social standing can live comfortably
through education has become stronger, andI am now studying at a graduate school tocomplete an educational program.

Whee Log, a user-contribution based app forsharing barrier-free information, which I
developed to return the results of the training
to society, has achieved 100,000 downloads.
My message is that people with disabilities
do not make trouble but rather help others. I
will continue to send out this importantmessage.
